Twenty Self-Portraits
1995
Twenty Self-Portraits by Nicole Eisenman presents a series of repeated self-rendered faces executed in ink and gouache on translucent wax paper, with tape incorporated as both a structural and expressive element. The work explores the fragmented, shifting nature of identity through its multiplicative format, each iteration subtly distinct from the last. The semi-transparent ground of wax paper lends the piece an ethereal, layered quality, allowing light to interact with the fluid marks and pooling pigment.
