In this REWIND episode (recorded: Feb 2019) Gary Mansfield speaks to Katie Piper OBE (@katiepiper_)

Katie Piper OBE is popular TV presenter/personality, model, writer, activist and a whole lot more.

In 2008 she was horrifically attacked with acid, severely scarring her face and chest; she also lost the sight of her left eye.

Katie later founded the Katie Piper Foundation, helping others’ deal with living with such injuries.

In 2018, Gary Mansfield created an exhibition called FaceValue, where 30 artists would donate a piece of artwork, and I would deface it [aesthetically] in some way. The question was asked, “If something/one has their identity changed by a third-party, are they devalued by society, or viewed as unique?” The artists’ collectively donated the works to the Katie Piper Foundation.
