Bone Mask

Bone Mask

I make masks by the collage method, gluing onto the base (a mold of my partner's face) a wide variety of items. Insects, shells, snake skins, mouse bones, leaves, seeds and pods, the possibilities are endless. And the results are striking. This mask is all of little mouse parts taken from Owl pellets (science teachers love this one). And, yes, there are a few well placed dried insects on it as well.
