Statement
A visual representation of an autobiographical reflection of
confidence portrayed through the medium of textiles and
photography. Focusing on the emotional primary response to self
confidence and self discovery. Reflecting personal emotions through
abstract imagery. A juxtaposition of self awareness and self
exposure.
The underwater portraits are reflected on translucent fabrics
and narrative stitched with light absorbing iridescent threads to
produce fine transparent reflections of autobiographical thoughts
of self. Suspended isolated hidden emotions where stitched
narrative is used as a subliminal response to convey the inner
voice. Altering perceptions of the concept of confidence as the
viewer moves through the images of a body exposed.
