Angie Iver is a German artist, and there is not much else known about her, I apologize, but I wanted to share this badly.
This SCREAMS repetition and pattern. It is the same print printed just off from where it was laid originally. Which makes such a realistic portrait very surreal. Yet still, it has a balance to it, because the plate was laid down again in such a way as not to overlap the eyes or any other dark areas. The eyes become daunting and very intimidating, in my opinion. It almost seems like two seperate people who are whispering close together, not just the same person printed in close proximity. In another way of looking at it, it almost seems like your eyes are crossing, like you're seeing double. It is true, you are seeing double, but it's no sort of optic illusion, which is fantastic that Iver captured in the drypoint medium.
