Faces in Time
Faces assembled from status, intimacy, memory, and the wish to remain.
The sitter offers a face. The maker chooses what the future is permitted to see. Between them sit clothing, posture, profession, wealth, affection, vanity, and sometimes resistance.
The catalogue can identify a person, but recognition is not the same as knowledge. Spend time with the unnamed faces too. Their anonymity is part of the record, not a reason to pass quickly.
