Marc's Napkin

I got the idea for this from Mellan's Veronica's Napkin, which was made sometime in the middle of the 2nd millenium. Mellan made an etching of Jesus by making a single spiral and varying the thickness of the line.

I thought this was really cool (at least for its time) because the at the low level, it's just a spiral, but Jesus's face emerges at the higher level.

In making these, I tried to balance between seeing nothing (besides the spiral) when viewed up close to seeing my face clearly when viewed from far away. That is, I wanted to balance between recognizability at the top level and non-recognizability at a lower level.
