Edie Nadelhaft
Biometric Portrait (Marilyn)
Oil on canvas
“An oil-on-shaped-canvas painting of a greatly enlarged human iris that touches upon themes of power, identity, preciousness, and psychedelic sexiness while mixing the tropes and techniques of the centuries-old genre of portraiture with the tools and ideologies of digital culture.”
