Artist Crush: Sarah Ball

Wednesday, January 15, 2014 · No Comments

These exquisite portraits of actual mugshots are from the series ACCUSED by British artist Sarah Ball. According to Millennium Gallery Sarah’s portraits reference physiognomy, a theory of the 19th century “that there was a connection between an individual’s outward appearance and their inner character – in essence good people ‘looked good’ and bad people ‘looked bad’. ”
