2018

We were able to choose our theme for NCEA level 3. I chose the Me Too movement. I focused primarily on Harvey Weinstein as he was one of the worst abusers being outed at that time, but it definitely extends to all abusers and all victims of the movement as well as exploring the behaviour that went on in the industry before it was outed.

Charcoal and pencil sketches with wash and gold collage overlay. Including some of the big bad names of the movement, Bill Cosby, Donald Trump, Harvey Weinstein, and Larry Nassar.

An exaggerated charcoal and paint work. Meant to transform the fat-cat men of the industry into Joker-like faces- how we see them now we know what they've done
