She/ her - Why did you create this work?
On an Artist Residency in Colombia, I wrote a manifesto about “the power of making stuff”, and dreamt up a drawing of "The Ghostess with the Mostess" - a character who feels invisible but finds colour & alive-ness through creativity. After a lot of pondering and staring at the studio wall… the two melted together and became a puddle of this. It’s for anyone who needs it. - How were your illustrations used?
