Kilmany-Jo Liversage

I draw inspiration from street culture and source portrait images from mass media and social networks. These portraits are randomly selected and although the person portrayed might not be familiar to the viewer, it conjures up a universally recognised sense of familiarity. The viewer is confronted with a complete stranger, yet recognises a mutual common ground.
