Greg Borman's exploration of his own psychology is the basis for his creative work. Mirroring the multiplicity of the self, "Portrait #22" draws upon Borman's shifting thoughts and feelings, representing different aspects of his psyche. Using a variety of tools to sketch in ink rolled onto Plexiglas, Borman's practice physically connects him with the process of making images.
Greg Borman's creative journey began in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he immersed himself in the vibrant DIY punk scene. There, he honed his craft, writing songs, performing with multiple bands, and contributing to local zines. After receiving his BFA at the University of Cincinnati, Borman moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, where he has resided ever since. He furthered his education, earning an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute, alongside obtaining an MLIS (Master of Library and Information Science) from San Jose State University. Since 2019, Borman has dedicated his focus to the exploration of printmaking, particularly monotypes, collaborating with studios in Berkeley and San Francisco. His work has garnered recognition through extensive exhibitions both within the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.
