What Id become

Repeated single plate intaglio
5"x7"- 23.5"x7"

So I just finished this print today actually. Pretty pumped about it. Basically I took a self-portrait photo of myself, made it two-tone, and then made a plate off of that using just aquatint. The idea behind the portrait was trying to capture the the face that my Id would have (Freud's levels of consciousness). Essentially what I'd become (haha get it....what Id become) if i listened only to this aspect of my personality. Printing in successively darker hues illustrates that the Id can rule your actions as much as you allow it to. Me likes....hope you do too.
