My piece of work for ‘Manifesto’ was a 35 x 25 cm canvas. I was originally going to produce x3 of these with different self-portraits, containing a different message in each one which is why it was so small. However due to not having enough time I only produced one, thinking sometimes less is more. I was happy with the way it turned out but the only thing I would change is the size of the canvas. I wouldn’t complicate or simplify the piece but I would probably make it a lot neater and more defined rather than some of the writing being wonky and messy in places. My ‘Manifesto’ piece contains a strong meaning and personally I feel a work of this depth belongs on a larger scale for all audiences to see.
