When I made this piece, I was thinking about the Redwood Highway in Northern California. It's a beautiful drive with trees all along the road...but behind this thin wall of trees, much of the area has been clear cut by logging companies. Our senses are fooled by the facade and I wanted this mask to be an allegory to remind myself that all is not what it seems.
I sold this mask 2 years ago and for some reason, it came to mind. I'm considering revisiting this idea very soon....
Raku today (i.e. playing with fire) and leaving for Oregon tomorrow!
