Overview

There’s a lovely stillness to this series. Even when the visuals are loud.

Created in collaboration with photographer Alexander Khokhlov, Weird Beauty explores the graphic potential of the human face using only black, white and a very, very steady hand.

The result is a set of portraits that feel part optical illusion, part social commentary, part just-good-fun.
