To the left is a linocut relief print I did of myself. It is called, Barcode Selfie. The point of the self-portrait was to practice a portrait in linoleum and to comment on consumerism today. The print will be done in six different colors, hopefully expressing different emotions through color. This one is done in blue-violet. The first three prints are done in cool colors and the final three prints will be done in warm colors.
Consumerism is rampant in our society, I know I often engage in it for various reasons. At the scanner the barcode contains all the information about the product. So in this print, a barcode across my face can be used on a scanner to reveal all the information about my self. Below in the actual linoleum block the print was taken from. Enjoy!
