Eight Faces at FEAR Zine Market
Every year since its inception in 2020, I’ve made two paintings for the innovative exhibition, One Hundred Faces at Playing in the Attic.
For the first time, all eight works can now be viewed together in Eight Faces, a newly created mini-zine. Featured on its front and back covers are advance views of the painted faces destined for the next One Hundred Faces exhibition, opening on 22 April. Works by British Arts & Crafts designer, May Morris, were primary points of departure for both paintings.
