This is a little bit of what I wanted to finally achieve this year, I’m not sure if it works, the colours are a bit dodgy. Since I printed my rainbow pixelated print A0, I’m playing with wheather I should print this one too.
What i’m trying to say is I am hiding behind my clothes.
The hours and the days tick by, it’s all getting real. I went to the print room and printed the photos for my portfolio and had to choose the final A0 print to be mounted. I chose the rainbow pixelated image because to me it sums up what I wanted to achieve, which was to present the person I was and I say was because that was me. I have changed the way I view myself over the course of this project. I am myself. I once was not, I am, I will one day not be. I hide behind my clothes and I make myself who I want to be.
These are some experiments based on the idea of the costume and how it makes me feel. There is the original, doll like pose, layered with the image of how the clothes make me act.

This is me. My name is Kitty McCarron and I am a princess and a ballerina and a barmaid and and woman and a girl and a bitch and a rainbow and a ginger and a lover and a fiesty fighter. I am who am, I am all sides of me, I hide myself with clothes and I make myself visible with clothes. I am I am I am.
