I love myself, 2013 is part of Grant’s series Century of the Self that examines the philosophical concept of the Self as the basis for works in painting, drawing and sculpture. Grant’s installation of works from Century of the Self is currently installed at USC’s Fisher Museum as part of the exhibition Drawn to Language. Fisher Museum curator Ariadni Liokatis writes, “Inspired by Adam Curtis’ documentary of the same name, Grant’s Century of the Self is drawn from many sources including Sophocles’ Antigone, the writer Audre Lorde, seminal psychological texts by Freud and his followers, and cultural movements that probed the unconscious mind, from Surrealism to Feminism. In Century of the Self Grant does not claim to have found the Self, but maps—through collage, Rorschach patterns and textual quotation—what is a constant search.”
