Mussel Girl by

An 8 part mixed media series exploring the theme of women believing they are the role they play in life – mum, wife, employee, friend, sister, neighbour, hermit etc and how they portray themselves to the world, everyday.
It’s difficult to be ‘you’ when so much is expected.
Sometimes we get lost in an ‘ideal’.

Be yourself, it’s ok :)

Mussel shells and paint on plastic bust. Original sold.
