Face in the Wall

I made a mold of my face with plastic strips, then attached the face to a canvas with glue and more plaster. I sculpted the face a little, then sketched and painted a Victorian wallpaper design over the entire thing. I recently read "The Yellow Wallpaper," a short story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. In the story, a turn-of-the-century woman suffering from post postpartum depression is isolated by her well meaning husband, causing her to go mad and imagine women roaming behind the walls of her confinement.
