My main concern for the piece was the separation of inside and outside, through the front/back (recto-verso) device of the paper, and the fragility of the interior self that struggles to externalise. For this reason I have also used a grid composition that is similar to a cage containing body fragments. The interiority is conceptually represented by painting behind the surface of the tissue paper images of fragments of my own body. While the outer self/appearance is represented by drawing directly on the “correct” side of the paper. I then developed on the external representation of the self by creating different surfaces that look like skin. Skin textures and surfaces to express the exterior self; Using fingerprints to leave a trace and give a sense of touch Final Piece:
