Neons : 2007-2008
The subject, the “Hoodie” shies away from us but draws attention to himself, glowing in a vibrant green, the colour of nature, of camouflage, of Kryptonite.

Are we witnesses to agony or ecstasy? With these child-sized hooded apparitions, Anstee continues to explore the line between perceptions and prejudices and what may be another kind of reality.
