Minnie Morley Same face, new story

The criteria for the submission of a portrait was that the subject should be someone who I, as the artist, respect and consider significant. Over the past few months, I’ve found I have been directing a lot of negativity towards myself. With this self-portrait, my ultimate aim was to give myself, through the hours of sitting in front of a mirror, the time to notice the beautiful parts of me – an action that I’ve struggled with historically. The process and completion of this portrait has meant that I no longer feel so insecure and downcast about myself.
