Artist: Deidre But-Husaim

Artist Statement:

Deidre But-Husaim daily trawls through hundreds of images of aspiring models searching for that indescribable quality that sets one apart from the other; the smattering of freckles across a nose, a pair of piercing blue eyes, a birthmark or a “caught in the headlights” expression.  En masse these androgynous bright young things become ciphers upon which we may project our own ideals of beauty and youth.  For But-Husaim they are a blank canvas onto which she superimposes elaborate “tattoos” of her design elevating her subjects in the process from the status of banal beauties, and rescuing them from obscurity.
Deidre But-Husaim is a visual artist and painter from Australia, where she lives and works.
