self portrait:masks
this is my first self portrait. we all wear masks....some we show to others, some we hid and are private. the "skulls" represent the "inner me"...what lies below the surface. the "face" is me as i show myself to everyone. the two "masks" are what lies hidden. sometimes i lift the "mask". but if some get too close and i don't want them to lift the mask.....beware..there are "pins" in the mask to protect me. i am sitting in my hand.......i control my life, my fate, my destiny.
mixed media: on wood: acrylic, doll's masks, straight pins, beads
19" x 19"
