Portrait in Pieces. Piece One
2012
Description
The practical component of my MPhil degree in Visual Arts (Illustration) consisted of an autobiographic graphic novel, entitled Portrait in Pieces. The story is told in three parts, each utilising a different narrative approach. It is a fragment of my life, memories and thought patterns told in bits and pieces. In this sense, this graphic novel can be regarded as an extended self-portrait.
