THE MARK PORTRAITS (2003 – 2005)

The MARK PORTRAITS, sgraffito and mixed media overlaying large ink-jet photographs on rag paper, explore issues of identity and transformation.

Using images of the same face, metamorphosed into various historical male and female characters, these theatrical ‘portraits’ play with the concepts of visual perception and “profiling”.

 

All works are elaborately framed, with mouldings chosen to match the mood of the portrait, and are approximately 36" x 30".
