I started out this project by looking at the artist suggested. I am particularly drawn to Maurizio Anzeris's obscured faces.
I find it interesting how you can just about see the faces. This got me thinking about news pixilatting out peoples faces.
The naturally lead me to Banksys amusing Cardinal Sin.
I then came across these on pintrest.
They are mothers (and occasionally fathers) in the Victorian era trying to keep their children still in photographs. I found it interesting how the adult is trying to be transparent.
It reminded me of the witty art of Boushra Almutawakel.
She seemed to be commenting on how the full veil makes her feel transparent.
This has got me thinking about the veil,and masks. Hiding and trying to be transparent while doing so.
Thats were I am going at the moment.
