Tess Patrick – Grin and bear it

Artist: Tess Patrick

Title of Piece: Grin and bear it

About the Piece: A photograph I took at the Pain Awareness Dr Sketchy evening.

Contorted, distorted and in extreme discomfort.. at odds with his surroundings, under constant pressure, struggling just to keep composure. He tries to hide his face, from the judging eyes of others. But still his personality shines through.. this entry is dedicated to Hannah Gross and Jessica Maybury

About the Artist: Amateur artist. Fortunate enough to lead a relatively pain-free existence, but gaining awareness and empathy for chronic pain sufferers.
