Premonition is a of 12 plaster casts of a digitally sculpted and then printed self-portrait. Each of the heads is approximately the size of my own and each has been disfigured through a repetitive process of either driving a steel rod through them with a hammer or repeatedly striking them with a crowbar in patterns that mimic real facial injuries sourced from medical journals.

Through this series I explored a more metaphorical obsession with the conceptual destruction of the self as a true and believed entity through the physical destruction of my likeness through an intensely-physical, labour intensive process. Adding to this, in creating the likeness, it was important to me to sculpt rather than scan my head before printing it, producing a cast of a print of a “hand” rendered digital object. Like with the  self, both the crafting and destruction of these objects needed to feel labour intensive and time-consuming.
