My guiding question is, how can I distort the human face? I wanted to use my art to push the limits of what makes a face "recognizable". I did this by taking typical facial features and trying to present them in new and interesting ways. I found that I could use distortion to tell a story, altering faces in a way that creates new characters that remain overwhelmingly human. I also relied on the terminology of the word "distortion", carefully planning how each facial alteration took inspiration from the subject of the piece to ensure each final work was cohesive and clear.
