Wallpaper Inspired Portraits
I am inspired by peeling painting, ripped wallpaper and billboards. The shapes of the portraits are informed by my many reference photos and the often floral fabrics are patterns which have a wallpaper feel to them.
The portraits are incomplete, not only as an extra torn layer but to allow the viewer to complete the person/character/story themselves, with only a title to hint.
