About this painting
An idea about feelings of ugliness. The inspiration was the Oscar-winning film by David Lynch. Here we are, both The Elephant Man, gazing out of the crudely cut hole in his hood, and an external observer viewing Mr Merrick himself.

Technical details
The frame was an integral part of the painting and was, of course, designed as part of the idea. The frame is wood, affixed with jute.
