unravelled
Continuing thoughts about identity and a sense of self.
I looked at a mummy in Leeds museum at the weekend and it struck me that until you read the information attached to the artifact you are unable to attach a meaning to what you are seeing.... sex, age, status etc.
This is a sample piece using brown paper, stitch and gesso, and by unravelling part of the stitch I hope to suggest that the very stiff pose, which could mean a rather disciplined person, is in fact an illusion.
The piece is about 2 inches high.
