Self Portrait With Progressive Ptosis

152cm x 101cm
acrylic, ink and graphite on canvas

“Like a veil this condition, ptosis, has slowly masked true aesthetics. On a purely comedic level its hooded demeanour and progressive timing was aligned with events in my everyday reality, these unravelling before my eyes were surreptitiously camouflaged and not foreseen. Treatment – Surgery and Divorce. Stippling en masse equating to the veil that will in time be physically lifted and notarised.” – Rebecca Pierce
