Eileen Perrier - Grace

Whilst I have had a lull in visits I have been conducting some more research into artists that deal with subjects that are 'different'. I find the work of Eileen Perrier interesting, particularly the series 'Grace' which looks into people who have gaps between their front teeth.

Although this is more common than people with facial birthmarks, I still feel it is relevant to take influence from her work.


I have been unable to find more than this grid of images, as her work is quite hard to come by, but I like the uniformity of the images. The subjects are all looking in the same direction and smiling, which I like. I think that her work could influence me, as I have been taking head and shoulder shots of each subject and I feel that these are fairly strong. Perrier's work retains a element of character and depth, despite only showing part of the subject.
