Stitched in Space Series
'Stitched in Space' is a series composed of 34 portraits where I explored our disconnection from and desensitisation to one another. Due to a rapidly growing image-bank, many of us have become cannibalistic in our consummation of images, giving little thought to the reality of the material represented. By painting and drawing both friends and anonymous subjects, I attempted to confront and reconnect humanity with itself, as the figures resisted dismissal with their eyes, reversing the gaze back onto the viewer. In order to emphasize how hair is often used by people to construct a particular identity, I sewed elaborate hairstyles over the top of the portraits with wool. Through forcefully stressing this identity defining act, my aim was to ensure that these people would not simply recede into a memory that one could easily forget.
