Masked Identity





Tracing paper, wire, Winsor & Newton inks, and acrylic paint
17 x 16 3/4 x 14 1/2 inches

 My inspiration to making this mask was crowns and head pieces. Every crown and head piece that has been made in history have always represented royalty in some way. When the crown is no longer able to be worn it kept in a safe place that it stay for the rest of time. So to represent the eternity of crowns I choose to use the archway,  which represents the entrance to eternal life. So by having the model walk through the archway she is entering eternal life and taking the crown with her. Making the crown and the girl live forever like royalty does.
