An art show of black and white photographs reproduced for the blind for the first time. Three-dimensional portraits, touchable art and tactile graphics are the result of adaptive and non-adaptive technology techniques.

Facial Vision is an art show that is equally accessible to people who are sighted or blind.  The show travels and is available for bookings.  I’m a black and white portrait photographer using available light and prints on fiber-based paper in the darkroom in my basement.  I have a lousy memory for faces, but an excellent memory for what it feels like to be with people. 
Facial Vision is a collection of two- and three-dimensional black-and-white photographic portraits of people who are visually impaired.  Suellen reproduced the photos using adaptive techniques so they can be seen with the hands of people who are visually impaired. These tactile graphic techniques include different papers, plaster and glass.

Adaptive technologies include the rapid prototype printer, Tiger Braille printer, swell paper, glass and others to create touchable and three-dimensional portraits.  Suellen Hozman
