"Mary Farrell's etchings have an amazing precision and texture that make her imagery so visceral. In Identity, Farrell uses harsh contrast to cover the figure's shoulders and neck in highlights but shroud their face in shadows. I find so much mystery in the figure - the lack of context encourages anonymity but the face seems so specific, the pose is generic but hostile or at least uninviting, a cold but honest portrait. The title further mystifies me as I wonder how well I know this person from Farrell's image, or what really makes up an identity."

Recommended by Paige(Collections Manager): The texture of this etching is even more incredible in person, from the tiny dots to the craters of the molars. I love the unique perspective where this piece positions the viewer, and the way that Mary Farrell combines abstract and representational details to depict communication (and miscommunication).
