Shadow Girl 2.

Matte S.S. Black, changed from Matt Jonas because of his Disassociation Identity Disorder (or what used to be called Multiple Personality Disorder) from his childhood abuse. This condition has been undiagnosed Mattes whole life as he has regressed to his childhood and other personalities often to help him cope. Matte’s brain structure sits in between/next to autism, schizophrenia, indigenous shaman, mathematical genius, and his psychiatrist basically classed him as the artistic genius in the circle. This puts him in the .01% of the population that has access to a part of their brain most people don’t even know how to access. Matte has quite a few personalities that help him create and cope in life. Sarah Scarletton, a 3 year old girl, (the S S part of Matte’s name and the persona that brought this paining to life) was the first to emerge and is the most prominent. Matte usually dissociates to her first but other alters can be present or take over. Matte delves deep into the discrimination he has been forced to endure from people running the arts in Australia.
