Using face paint I decided to look at the mask people use every day to cover up the weight bearing on their mind. this can either be through make-up or facial expression.A mask to show how awake they are when there mind has shut down

I wanted to show how this mask can be washed away over time whether through use of water which is a very spiritually clensing material.I realised after filming the video that it looked like someone being blessed.Which i realised could be another way of clensing mental weight even if it wasn’t the end result that I was intending.

I patriculary like the unpredictable manner of which the paint travels in droves across my face.As unpredicatable as the action of someone with such a weight on their mind.

I find some comparisons between my work and the work of Bas Jan Arder especially with the way the facepaint has started to look like tears and the way my eyes look red from crying
