Self portrait: what has been

“A depiction of how the past has informed aspects of the present, a multi-media composition whereby the background consists of a cut-up and collaged original poem which is purposefully too small to read without the aid of a magnifying glass - thereby mirroring the near-invisible nature of some aspects of each of our personal histories which are known only to ourselves”
