I have this idea, about masks and how they hide your identity. How your true self is hidden! Everyone wears a mask in how they interact with different people, be it family or friends or in a professional capacity at work for example dealing with the public. Also on a personal level over the last year and a half I have been recovering from depression and outwardly a lot of people would think I am my usual happy go lucky vibrant self, but inside was a different matter! Through counselling and my art I have been able to put down my negative thoughts, I have reached a crossroads in my life where I am embarking down a new road to a different career, leaving behind my Nursing.
So this is what Masks is about, I will be focusing on the Venice Carnival and relating it to my own personal story. I am now in my final year of my Final Art Degree, which culminates in an end of year degree show, and have no doubt that the next nine months will fly past, like the two years already doing this degree.
