| the Face Finder - reconstructions |
Faces from the past are brought back to life, using the reconstruction
technique developed by forensic experts and artists. The reconstruction work
is being made from cast copies of archeological and historical finds.
The artist also carries out facial reconstructions of un-identified victims
for the Swedish police.
Facial reconstruction requires the expertise of a physical or forensic
anthropologist to determine sex, age and ancestry on the skull, and
extensive knowledge of the anatomy of the face and good artistic abilities.
By combining the knowledge of the tissue-depth of the human face with the
technique of building up the face muscle by muscle, an individual appearance
is achieved.
