A mask made for an exhibition about pantomime: I used character faces and masks to represent public figures in a new guise; in this case, the Dame character to present Boris Johnson as a 'loveable, fluffy figure of fun'; on closer inspection, Dame Boris (whose skin is made of Financial Times newspaper) shows sharp pins protruding from his lips.
