I See You Like This

How does your child see you? Become the subject of your child’s imagination with an artwork that uses your face as their canvas!

With our ever-growing appetite to document our lives through photos and selfies, children are so often the reluctant subjects of their parent’s cameras; asked to smile, look natural, look that way, and come in closer.  I See you Like This turns the camera back and allows children to see their parents as subjects through the lens of their own imaginations.

Children are given permission to observe and portray their parent, while parents are able to experience being ‘seen’ by their child. Each child artist chooses an object, which best represents this adult subject, before art directing a creative portrait directly onto their face!

I See You Like This is an acclaimed interactive art experience created by Jessica Wilson with designer Matilda Woodroofe to celebrate the fascinating relationship that is at the heart of individual identity – between parent and child. It has toured Australia, Europe and the USA amassing a collection of nearly 2000 portraits!
