I Am Me 2017

first shown at Festival of Quilts 2017 in the Through Our Hands gallery ‘A Portrait’

Individuality, distinctiveness, uniqueness form our identity; who or what we are. This series of self-portraits was inspired by the humankind’s urge to categorise. Whatever you think you see in these images it is still me.
Visual decoration or types of clothing may suggest class, culture, creed, religion or ethnicity. The outer shell and its various wrappings; skin, clothing, accessories, may change and alter appearance as they do. The viewer is asked to form their own opinion of who I really am. The person portrayed whose the inner soul remains the same throughout is me.

I Am Me

This is new work in progress for ‘Through Our Hands – A Portrait’ at the Festival of Quilts 10 to 13 August. There will be around 12 to  14 portraits when completed.

I’m in the process of making this series of self-portraits which are slightly different to usual. These portraits show me as someone else.

But who am I really?
