Linocut Selfie

Alice Cook, Barcode Selfie, 2014
This is the completed series of linocuts done of my self-portrait.  The idea for the barcode going across my face is my comment on consumerism in America.  How scanning a barcode imparts all the information on a product.  If I had a barcode across my face, scanning it would reveal all the information about myself.  The reason for the multiple colors, is that different colors express different emotions.  I feel that the selfie in different colors help express different parts of myself, from the cool to the warm side.  This size of each print is 4" X 5",  carved on mounted linoleum.  Enjoy!
