Identity Painting

Alexandra Bothwell

Year: 7

School: Ballajura Community College

Medium: Acrylics and collaged newspaper on board (mixed media)

Artist statement: My identity painting reflects my Indonesian origins, family and interests. I was inspired by the vibrant colours and patterns seen in the paintings of Sandra Silberzweig. After creating a collaged surface with newspaper, I drew my forms and developed details using acrylic paint.
