Nude Self-Portrait

Diane Edison

in this riveting, confrontational self-portrait Diane Edison strove to be as direct as possible, allowing her gaze to assert itself to the viewer with unwavering confidence. Although she has made many self-portraits, this one remains unusual, special and retains a power that is as awe-inspiring as it is unnerving.
