Imaginary maps

Someone has said that my faces resemble maps. I like that idea. A face is a map, in a way. I think it's important to understand that portraits are a form of personal geography. Someone else very kindly compared my work to that of Alison Lambert (see the picture I have cut out in my scrapbook, below).

Playing around in my work, I have tried floating faces over a photograph to create a kind of dream landscape.
