Work in progress - face
This face is to be part of a piece on the forced feeding of Suffragettes.
I have taken the stitched newspaper and painted and sprayed it with pigment paint and acrylic paint.
I then added the features, and then wet the piece again and rubbed back part of the work to expose the grid structure. This is to illustrate the damage that the feeding tube did not only to the throat, but also to the mind.
After it had dried, I then dry brushed some Jacquard Lumiere paint in Halo and jewel colours on to the top of the paper.
I will now leave this to thoroughly dry overnight and then I will give it a couple of coats of mat medium, before stitching into it again. The shape could do with refining too.
This measures 15 inches by 10 inches
