Exhibition Text
"Brain Splatter" is a recreation of Banksy's "Self Portrait (2000)", with myself placed within the piece. I feel as though representing your individual mental state is extremely important when creating a self-portrait; Bansky portrayed his emotional and mental state through his technique of splattering paint around what is meant to be his head. I attempted to replicate that technique in my recreation. All materials used to create this piece were either self-made or previously purchased.
