The skin I’m in II

Carol Mayer was a young mother when she
suffered extensive burns in a house fire – her
family was told she would not survive. After a year
of operations and skin grafts she lived to prove
the predictions wrong, and now spends much of
her time advocating for and counselling other
burns victims. In 2016 she has spent weeks of her
time supporting the survivors of the horrific 2015
‘Serves You Right Café’ explosion in Ravenshoe,
North Queensland that killed two people and
injured twenty more. She allowed me to make her
portrait and is proud of ‘the skin I’m in’.
