Moving Faces

Motion-blurred polaroids are the source imagery. The portraits evidence both a technical effect–the motion blur–and evoke an emotional one–a distorted face challenging our sense of normal. The portraits are moving both literally and metaphorically. Pastel ‘painting’ as a medium has peculiarities used here to create perturbing portraits.
