Character Recognition
work by Myra Greene (Chicago, IL)
As
throughout her work, with the series Character Recognition
Myra Greene directly confronts issues of difference, beauty, melancholy
sentiment, and physical and emotional recollections as played out on the
surface of the skin, that are far more complex than just skin deep.
In Character Recognition, Greene utilizes her own facial
features as a terrain to explore these ideas. Through a quasi-scientific
visual classification system in which she repeatedly examines such areas
as her mouth, nose, eyes, ears, and profile as well as her use of a
antiquarian photographic process, Greene references the ethnographic
studies of the late 19th century and the visual history of American
Slavery.
