Doe Eyes: 2015-16

Inspired by Erwin Blumenfeld's iconic 1950 Vogue cover, as well as the "face sheets" used by makeup artists, Doe Eyes is a series of small mixed media works where I distill feminine faces to only the features that are "acted upon" in beauty rituals. I then embellish these features with paint, crayon, and medium as if I were applying makeup.

It is through this repeated process of embellishment that I examine the often thin line between enhancement and distortion, beauty and clownishness, that can occur with makeup and other feminine beauty enhancements.
