Beard and Influence is a series of self portraits in the guise of twelve bearded Australian bushrangers.

This performative series was developed over four years for the Castlemaine Art Museum, combining a mix of traditional and contemporary techniques and technologies. The original exhibition included death masks and the criminal records of two bushrangers.
