Twiggie
Ambra, Age 18
This painting is an unconventional portrait of my friend Twiggie. I wanted to explore how young queer people use clothes as a form of self expression and how it’s often easier to understand who they are and how they experience the world by their clothes rather than their face. I chose the boots because we thought it represented Twiggie’s personality and because of the historical link between queer people and cowboys.
