Something for the Weekend

Okay I'm going to be honest I really don't understand this brief  "identify an object that highlights how I feel when I'm 'being me'"
my problem being, the 'objects' that represent me are my paintings, all of the LizzieDoyle work that I do for relaxing, and the best SPACE that represents me when I am at my most comfortable is of course my studio. None of which are easy to draw from.
SO I'm going to twist the brief a little.




NEW BRIEF: "identify an object that represents me/my personality and present in a space/shrine that encapsulates everything about me"
SOLUTION: This mask sits in my studio as a reminder of the first production I worked on in college, it is my theatrical side, it reminds me of my own days on the stage, of bustling dressing rooms and the hyped glitz and glamour. It is cold to the touch with sharp smart edges but has a feather, a softness to it, it matches my personality, the public exterior, the public mask.
The black, sophisticated classic shape. This mask is everything I aspire to be, and everything I work for.
