ok. so. again, broken sheets of plastic. this time 3 glued together. [2 broken in half] scratched with sandpaper and an exacto knife, edges bashed in with a wrench. used brown, gold and black paint to fill in the scratches.
mask was made out of clay. the "nose" is supposed to resemble a twisty branch. has a knob at the end with one little leaf. i would have painted it to look more realistic [so you could tell what it was supposed to look like at least] but i wanted to make sure it stood out and i kind of liked the bone color.
and i guess thats it. i messed with it a little, but otherwise as is.
i like them, even if no one else does. since thats the way it usually goes.



[and i know some of you hate it when i explain how i did everything, but this saves me having to answer "how did you do that?" a million times. and i really don't care if people know how.]

I think this is my favorite piece in your gallery. It's just a realy inviting, yet mysterious imagery. the desaturated coloration works very well, and the plastic adds such beautiful energy and texture. When I was doing photography in school I was always going into the negative to get this kind of texture, but you're doing in such a direct manner I find fascinating. Some of your surrealism and body manipulation reminds me of Rebecca Woodman's photos.
