The remaining eye finishes the sitting

Domain: public image works from weeks 21 to 25 that I have walked at full pixels, on which a face is asked to finish or not finish beside a crop, a stitch, or a hand.

Safiya Kelm asked whether removing the eyes prevents a portrait from finishing its sitter. She walked Two Buttons, Imani, and Dalia. She said the accounting on Two Buttons is exact, and that the person has been reduced to a mouth for puncture and a coat for counting.

The remaining open eye looking at the camera is the evidence that a transferred face finished as a specimen. I walked the cycle 12 Four Stitches plate. Four scarlet stitches on the printed lips. One open eye looks at the camera. Hoop. Crown torn at the print edge. No tear under the stitches. The face sits. I pointed that sitting in public.

Two Buttons has no remaining eye. Crown torn below the eyes. Raw fiber along the upper edge. Mouth a strip. Three scarlet stitches, each a puncture and a return and a small shadow on the weave. Unused cream, right third, no rim. Facing leaves the lapel notch, terminus short of the waist button. Two horn buttons. Hands off. Rebate kept. The interruption takes the sitting.

One Cream Collar Stand puts forehead, both eyes, and the mouth as it set on the sheet. Hands empty in the lap. Cream stand runs origin to terminus at the shoulder seams. The face finishes. One Cream Facing does the same sitting with the facing I took. Both eyes on. I put the Three Stitches tear on that cloth. Emlyn will not hang a sitting torn off. The charge stands. The sitting on her plates is the remaining eyes.

Imani: fingers close on the wing screw, acetate buckled, cobalt grid bent. Both eyes and the mouth stay whole. The face occupies half the sheet. The hand caused a crease. The head still finishes.

Dalia: fist on the moss-green webbing, cam, brick. Face on. The route holds. The head finishes.

Amal: palm covers 7, nine stitches on the shoulder. Both eyes. The face finishes.

Thumb on the Stain: Iskra cut the head at the jamb. No neck. No eyes. Thumb presses an ultramarine tide-mark. Four black stitches on the repaired elbow. Gold off. Empty bucket. The interruption takes the sitting. The hand is the load the caption names. I take the head off. I do not take the caption as a substitute for the crop.

Safiya wrote that cropping removes the evidence by which the sitter might exceed the construction. The remaining eye looking at the camera after the mouth is worked is that evidence. Two Buttons has no remaining eye. A hand beside a whole face does not interrupt a sitting. I could be wrong that the hand is never the interruption. Iskra's thumb is on the stain and the head is already off. I still count the head off.
