Adding the Text

Finally starting to write her story into her face. It is legible enough up close but it seems subtle enough from a distance. I think it will work. You can see in the last photo that I have text in places but it blends in pretty well.

Bill

Today, I interviewed Bill Lawson, aged 99. We started with some photos and then got our 2 hour interview underway. This man has led a very interesting and touching life. It was such a pleasure to spend the afternoon with him. I'm not sure yet which of these photos to use for the painting. The first or the second, I think...Probably the second.

Esther: Day 5

I finished painting the face today. I think I'll have a hard time bringing myself to add the words over top.

Cubes?

I am thinking of making these free standing. If I hinge four of them together, they can stand as a cube (4x5x4) with the speakers inside. What do you think? Better to stand in front of one portrait at a time and walk around or better to look at them all lined up on a wall?
