    How the Ausgrid sale became a security risk

    Artist Mike Parr's relentless self-portraiture
    There’s a Mike Parr portrait on the floor, a dark scrawl printed on Hahnemühle paper, the head a mass of turbulence. I’ve seen many of these over the years – Parr is his own most common subject. The representation is acute, though the facial features are barely distinguishable. The etchings are done in dry point then printed off the burr, rendering two or three per edition.   Parr’s studio is on the second floor of a warehouse in Alexandria, in Sydney’s inner east, its windows taped over to acco..
