About the Forgotten Faces The Project is based on faces that are forgotten within the textiles industry. Page felt that the only names that get noticed are the brand names or designers. The names and faces of the company or consumers see not a piece of fabric but the furniture itself, example being, an arm chair or a settee. Page wanted to show that the people who help design and make the fabric get no credibility for there jobs. Therefore she took pictures of fellow students designing and crating fabric and distorted there faces.
