The Tartan of Michelle Kenny • Self-portrait

This project’s brief allowed for the open-ended expression of oneself with the only requirement being the creation of a self-portrait as guided by a specific theme. As a result, I designed the Munro-Kenny tartan to represent my own personal relationship to the idea of ‘Boundaries.’ By weaving together the graphic fabrics unique to the heritage of each of my parents, I have created a pattern that is representative of my background. The process of unifying the patterns that are symbols of familial origins has in essence broken the boundaries originally dictating their differentiation.
