I wanted to post a couple of artists who work with self-portraiture and whose work might be able to offer some inspiration for the unrecognizable portrait assignment.

Artists Cindy Sherman and Nikki S Lee both use self-portraiture to address different ideas of identity. Shown here is a photograph from Cindy Sherman's "film stills" as well as four images from Nikki S. Lee's portrait projects where she plays the roll of various cultural stereotypes.

Also shown here is Francesca Woodman, who uses self-portraiture as a way to create psychologically and emotionally charged environments.
