Hidden Mask Series 

These pieces are made by pressing a thin clay slab onto my face and creating a baseline impression. The mask is then developed with various techniques, according to my vision for the piece. Occasionally the mask will split down the middle or shatter into fragments. I welcome that serendipity, and adjust my impositions to suit what is presented to me. 

 

Each "hidden mask" has its own back story-sometimes revealed, sometimes not. The series is about intrapersonal and interpersonal trauma; surviving, or sometimes not.
