Artist statement
Breasts disjointed, proportions wrong, head skewed at an impossible angle... and betraying myself by trying to fit into a place that is all wrong for me. I try to disguise my ugly bits with pretty colours, superficial patch up jobs that a little plastic surgery or an eraser could fix, but can it ever truly help the isolating feeling of feeling pretty ugly both inside and out. Will pull myself together. Paradoxically this drawing was really fun to do!
Medium and technique
Pastel and charcoal
