Interrogation

Installation view
Installation view 
Interrogation, Chaz Howkins, 2017, acrylic on scratched toilet seat and lid
A self portrait painted on the underside of a toilet seat lid.  The artwork should be positioned closed on top of a plinth so that the audience has to interact with it to reveal the painting.  Once the lid is opened the audience should then notice the text scratched into the lid around the portrait which can only be seen up close.  The text is a series of phrases which have been said to myself or other gender non conforming people while using the women's bathroom.
