Sarah Ball: Bertillion
Aug 04, 2017 - Sep 02, 2017
鈥楤ertillon鈥� is a continuation of Sarah Ball鈥檚 quest to reveal the human truth of her anonymous protagonists. In this new collection of paintings, which vary in scale from small studies to larger-than-life portraits, Ball asserts but also tests the notion that we all somehow 鈥榝it' together, bound by a kindred connection that makes us human. In this case, the viewer is required to consider this problematic idea more closely as Ball has shifted the goal posts, reaching further towards the suspicion of 鈥榞ood鈥� and 鈥榖ad鈥� and how prejudice leads to assumption about people, through assessing appearance.
