For my Identity project, I chose a statue from the North Carolina Museum and added butterfly wings to her back. Her facelessness represents her lack of a defined personality or appearance. The cloth she holds represents a cocoon she is coming out of and transforming into a butterfly. I named it "Metamorphosis" for this reason.
This project helped me extend my skills with realistic drawing (the wings) and use of ink and color.

Another project I've been working on is below. I think this will be the main piece I choose for my final post. It's an oil painting self-portrait of me in a feather headdress I made over the weekend and tribal warpaint I created from ashes, oil, and cascarilla powder (ground egg shells); I just started it.
