Field Notes
 

A face holds evidence.
 

Every experience leaves a mark.
 

Every action changes the landscape.
 

Mountains form slowly.
 

Rivers carve slowly.
 

People change slowly.
 

Small movements become visible over time.

We are shaped by the world around us, but we also participate in shaping the worlds we inhabit.

Face of the Earth is a sculptural portrait created from thousands of individual colored pencil fragments arranged across a constructed form.
 

Building from the material language developed in Color Blind, this work expands the human figure into a larger meditation on transformation, time, and the relationship between internal and external landscapes.
 

The face becomes both a portrait and a terrain — a surface shaped by experience, action, and the accumulated choices that define who we become.
