About this blog

This blog is my honours paper, which concerns itself with the connection between human value and contemporary portraiture - particularly that in Australia.

My honours project, to which this paper is related, consists of making the portraits of a range of people who live in my suburb, Surry Hills, and who come from across the diverse socio-economic of the area. I intend to present them together, each as equally valuable elements that contribute to what the suburb is.

My reason for this is that I believe everyone has been equally made in the image of God, from whence their value comes.

The blog reads from top to bottom, with the introduction at the top of the home page. I realise that this may seem confusing for many readers who seek to read the posts in the order of their dates, but I thought it was best to arrange the blog this way as it eases the vertical transition from one post down to the next.
