Oraine Pierrepoint presents charcoal portraits of women with dementia.
About
She gets to know her sitters and hear their stories before drawing them, and the resulting artwork allows their character to shine through, offering each subject dignity and poignancy. Pierrepoint doesn’t seek to illustrate the illness itself, but the individual effected, and their emotional experience.
Her sensitive portraits confront society’s unwillingness to recognise the difficulties faced by some of its most vulnerable members.
