ME ME ME
Merino, Linen, Silk, Red Ochre, Ink, Brass.
Self Portrait.
Developed during the final year of Karen's Art Degree. ME, ME, ME is part of Karen’s graduation collection/exhibition, the culmination of two years social research into how we are all dealing with our own Taniwha; emotional monsters who are both caretakers and destroyers- and how by dealing with these darknesses, we move forward into light.
The lettering is painted with hand-gathered and prepared Kokowai (Red Ochre), sacred blood of the earth.
