| dc.description.abstract | My theses exhibition, Sibling Portraits and this text, Hue, Intensity, Value, are the result of nine months of writing and three years of making art. I identify my three areas of focus: elements of design, face perception, and psychological essentialism. I examine how my practice of capturing and manipulating photographic portraits relates to photography'shistoric relationship with xenophobia and practices such as physiognomy and criminal atavism. I also contextualize the images I produced within contemporary discourses about intersectionality and the social construction of race. I produce images for three main reasons: 1. To study my and other'sbiological and sociological responses to the way people look including facial expressions, facial metrics and skin tone. 2. As an excuse to look at faces and enjoy their aesthetics. 3. To manipulate reality in order to disorient and entice my audience and myself. Sibling Portraits is a series of animations and still images that incorporate these three interests using my seven biological siblings. The body of work addresses aesthetic design, face perception and psychological essentialism by presenting the bodies, hands, voices and faces of my siblings for viewers to observe. | |
