The artist that I chose to research was Tom Friedman. The website that I found with information about him said that self-portraits make up a lot of his work, yet when I looked at the photo I didn't see the "self-portrait" anywhere. As I read a little further I realized that he does these in a very skewed and abstract way. I read that he actually uses a flat-bed scanner and drags the image while the scan is taking place to make these really abstract photos. This gives it a really abstract, dynamic, and almost landscape look to his work. "If one looks closely, Friedman's hair, belt, and shoes are visible as horizontal bands, almost like an abstracted landscape".
