Self-portrait with Breton Painting

This work is part of a series of surreal self-portraits. This particular composition came about when I saw one of my many Breton tops, one of my favourite item of clothing, crumpled on my bed and photographed it. I thought that somehow this was an interesting representation of my own self and this became the inspiration for this work. The Breton alludes to my French roots and my passion for the sea but is somehow disrupted by what I see as the colours and eccentricity of my British identity.
