The Hidden Gem

Imagine the beginning of time, when a lifeless, watery blue Earth is stirred to life by a loving angel. Imagine the birth of Earth’s many lands and the very rocks that inhabit these newly created spaces. Imagine the journey of these rocks as they explore, expand, and settle their world — gruff, powerful, stony… and destructive. 

Imagine what happens when these rocks suddenly find what is hidden within — the gem that resides within us all.

About Face – an artist’s guide to forensic facial approximation

Enter the fascinating world of forensic facial approximation and journey with me through this how-to guide for the artist.
Forensic facial approximation is the marriage of scientific observation and artistry to reconstruct an approximate likeness of an individual. The art of facial reconstruction is a tool used for identification, historical, or archaeological purposes, including museum displays. Reconstructing a skull will also vastly improve your understanding of the human face and overall artistic skills. Artists and scientists undertake forensic facial approximation using sculpting, drawing, or computer graphic techniques, and these disciplines often work in conjunction with one another.
