I arrived at the RCA with the intention of continuing my BA project but things never go to plan! I wasn’t prepared for the culture shock that I had when I arrived. It took me quite a while to get over the fact I was one of a very small number of black people attending the College. So I turned the camera on myself.

For the past two years I have been making self-portraits of myself wearing blonde wigs in various locations. The work stems from a childhood desire to fit in with the social majority; with the use of the wig I have highlighted this desire as well as emphasising my racial difference.
