Judith Sapine : Face Recognition

Turning corners in the city is amazing because there is seriously graffiti every where. One artist I  noticed several years back was Judith Supine. I thought their work was related to this week's reading because of face recognition. I feel like when I look at their work, I have an internal conversation of "where is that from? who is that? i feel like i know that person!". I think it is because these faces are complex mixes of different elements of different faces. Similar to Chuck Close, i feel like the end product is always a portrait with different approaches for each time.
