BRAVE FACE


Tuesday 6th May 2025

Brave face is an A1 Screen Print depicting a smiling mask wearing hospital patient on puppet strings and with an IV, suspended on a pedestal. It was based on the 100s of images of me from hospital, all of which have me smiling despite pain and immense fear.

Brave face is two seperate editions. The first has flood coat of purple and lining in pink, while the second has a flood coat in blue and the lining in purple. Both have a white mask.

A masked hospital patient stands on a pedestal held up by strings attached to a puppeteers marionette controller which simultaneously holds up an infusion bag. The hospital gown and socked patient has their thumbs up, which is what the pupeteer strings are attached to. The mask is white while the remainder of the print is in colour.
