Synthesis – Reveal to Conceal
This project explores the stigma of tattoos on people in professional occupations inspired by a series of photographs by Alan Powdrill. This piece focusses on occupations in the medical field, whether it’s a doctor, dentist, nurse or anything else, tattoos are frowned upon and in some completely banned. Reading articles of patience refusing care from someone with tattoos and my own experience in the working world inspired this. I wanted to reveal what would normally be concealed.
