We work to create the best representation of ourselves every day, while removing the parts of ourselves that do not allow us to live the life for which we believe we are destined. Change is inevitably part of this process - retaining parts of ourselves that we value and removing parts of ourselves that we are not very proud of is at the heart of the human experience. When we go through our lives, we change over time. Experiences are added and some forgotten, and they are all summed up in the persona we are on any given day. In this work I am attempting to wipe away negative aspects of people’s personalities and physical attributes. This is to enable us to appreciate how a person truly perceives themselves versus how they are perceived by the world around them. 1m x 1m and 1.5 x 1 meters inkjet print on Epson Hot Press Bright painted and sanded
