'Self' is a self portrait by Marc Quinn, a cast made from his own blood then frozen. It is a really challenging way to explore self portraiture. I saw this piece years ago in the Tate Modern London, I remember being drawn to it as it is beautiful and a striking red, then being shocked when I found out it was made from blood. The way he uses his own blood, to make a cast of himself makes it very personal and really explores his own identity through relating everything to himself.
