Bored Game

The older I get, the less time I have for games. This mask is a manifestation of my lack of tolerance and a not so subtle statement about the nature of games. I know that we're programmed early on to be participants, but there comes a moment when you or I must say: Enough, already!

Stressed Out (the edge of reason...)

Stress...it's one of the difficulties we face in our day to day existence. Of course, there are different levels of stress and that is what I'm trying to show with this mask. I try to keep myself on an even keel, but often find that I'm hovering on the outer edges. It's hard to deny its presence...

This mask is another "mixed media" piece. I used to paint a lot of silk which would then be cut into bias strips and sewn into cords. Now and then, I use these cords as "hair" for a mask.
