ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Stuart depicts Hermione as she develops in maturity and confidence in a manner reminiscent of Botticelli's 'The Birth of Venus' as shown by the clamshell motif behind her and in the title of the piece.
A bold and unabashed statement, 'I Am Hermione Granger'. Her newly discovered strength propels her to the fore, knowing she has a crucial role to play in the events about to unfold.
