Selfie Self-Portrait

Alice Cook, Selfie, 2014, Mixed Media

This is my take on the selfie and the integration of technology into our everyday lives.  The self-portrait is done in acrylic, above is the electronic parts of a clock radio.  The clock radio was taken apart and cut to match the size in the matting.  Black and red wires attached to the radio, are also attached to my forehead.  With the advent of, basically, a computer that we carry around at all times, technology is taking up more space in our minds than ever before.  This selfie is a comment on that.  Enjoy!
