Karen Hansen (2019)
ME ME ME
Merino, Linen, Silk, Red Ochre, Ink, Brass.
Self Portrait.
Developed during the final year of Karen's Art Degree. ME, ME, ME is part of Karen’s graduation collection/exhibition, the culmination of two years social research into how we are all dealing with our own Taniwha; emotional monsters who are both caretakers and destroyers- and how by dealing with these darknesses, we move forward into light.
The lettering is painted with hand-gathered and prepared Kokowai (Red Ochre), sacred blood of the earth.
