Sussex-Scottish-Beef Portraits

During our residency in a barn full of masks in the English Sussex Downs we created the outline drawings for 'Beef Portraits'. This was initiated after our meeting with a resident cat whose volatile nature became notorious, and led to her title of 'Tiger Bitch'. She fired up within us some comical aggro and we fought it out verbally, then onto paper, and finally through digitalisation we have annihilated our anger.
