Synthesis
Year 2022 I was invited to work as an artist in residence in the Serlachius Art Museum (Mänttä, Finland). During my residency I created large scale drawings that brought together all of the Social Portraits I have drawn in different locations around the world. I have carefully copied all of the portraits and layered them on top of each other. I have created these large scale drawings (150 cm x 180 cm) of most of the locations I have been arranging portrait drawing performances.
