Something Borrowed, Something Blue (2019)

Something Borrowed, Something Blue delves into the contrasts between one thing and another – the inner and outer self and the impact of time. Using torn photographs of the artist's 16-year-old self, layered with drawn self-portraits of her adult self, this series compels the viewer to look closer; to see layered complexities, that what is presented outwardly is not necessarily what lies beneath the surface. The distorted facial features, moody transparency of the watercolour splatters and the torn edges of the photograph, form a narrative. The protagonist remains silent, direct gaze at the viewer, asking them to look deeply, to see what has been suppressed. The second iteration of this series was exhibited at the Tafe NSW Bearing Traces (2019) exhibition.
