Profiled

This grid of charcoal portraits is layered with markings of key facial proportions that reference the history of racial pseudoscience and classification.  My recent studies of Nazi Era eugenics as well as my studies of ideal facial proportion in the context of portraiture inspired this collection. The materials used are historically significant. The work is displayed with the overlay but the viewers can lift the vellum to reveal the charcoal surface underneath.
