Marc Quinn has created a series of self portraits but has done them in a different unconventional sense. His piece entitled 'Self ', is of his head made out of his own blood, the exact amount that is in the human body. He took it from his body gradually over time in order to create this sculpture of his own head, which is encased in a freezer.
I was also suggested to look at the work of Cindy Sherman, who creates portraits in different outfits to portray different characters but they are always initially of herself.
I found looking at different suggestions helpful, but as I am working on my video piece at the moment, I want to find out how it looks from there, and that will give me more of a defined direction that I would like to take it to.
