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.
