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!
