Artist statement via instagram page (@mermarie_) "Working on these self portraits was tedious, time-consuming and often frustrating, but ultimately integral to my process of recovering from a harrowing year [...] In painting my own face at an almost uncomfortably large scale, I was forced to scrutinize parts of myself that I despise or wish to change, and question what makes me feel this way. Living with these paintings as they “became me” has also been an intimate act of tenderness and forgiveness towards myself and my past mistakes, and a crucial step in prioritizing my mental wellbeing."
