Human Nature is the focus of this piece. It is an example of a role model being used as the sitter. A nod to my Junior Cycle art teacher who has been an inspiration during my art journey. This piece has made me push boundaries and challenge my capabilities. This has been done not only through the development of skills, but also through the scale of the work itself. It has been my biggest challenge to date. This is art. This is nature. This is human nature.
