Mask

I choose the following inspiration pieces because they stood out to me. The first with the protruding nose caught my eye. Then the colors of the second piece were very vivid and I though of feathers. The feathers made me seek out the third piece.

My sketches:

I  tried to combine elements of each inspiration piece. The protruding nose from the first image translated into a large beak in my final work. I was really inspired by the parrot mask and that is how the piece grew. I wanted colorful feathers; similar to a Native American headdress. Then I kept going with this idea of the parrot in a tree.



Once I found my inspiration pieces, the idea for my mask came quite easily. I enjoyed the process and had fun creating my mask.
