Show and Tell

A series depicting people and their possessions and the stories behind them.

In Show and Tell, I am collating symbols based on personal histories and anecdotes. Like with my series Recollection, I have taken inspiration from Renaissance artists who used coded objects in their portraits to hint at stories beyond the picture’s surface.
