Description Medium: Graphite, ink, oil paints
About: My entry for the 2016 Caerphilly Open Art competition, which received 'highly commended' by judges.
This is a self portrait in an imagined future where nature and technology have collided. In my first year of university I worked on a collaborative project with designer-makers to create a mask/helmet model to be used in a future where we're all forced to wear air filtration systems in order to survive.
The title 'One For Sorrow' refers to the traditional rhyme regarding Magpie sightings: 'One for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl, four for a boy'. The Celtic knot represents my Welsh heritage.
