VIRIDIAN STARSHIP

Suppression of the true self, putting on a face to suit the situation; a muted false expression that leaves one exhausted and depressed asking “who is the real me”.
I’m interested in portraying the effects of neurodivergence. “Masking” is a mixed media work. The acrylic portrait painting provides the basis of the identity and is over-placed with a clay mask, a symbolic malleable substance that can be pushed and pulled in different directions as required. Digital imagery is used to provide the end form and prompts the question - “Do you know who you really are?”
