Private collection, South Australia

During the 1980s, Mike Parr began to experiment with printmaking and was assumed a principal position in his 'Self Portrait Project'. Between 1987 and 2000, Parr produced over 1000 prints using drypoint etching. This project often depicts the artist's face emerging from a mass of lines, blurs and distortions which are often barely visible or recognisable.
