Painted Stuff › Mistery Ritual Mask (2018)
It’s so fun to make art in a totally different style than you’re used to! I’ve been wanting to make a new sculpture for a while and this finally happened thanks to some magical visits from my good friend Tiffany Elizabeth Tompkins . On the first weekend she came over from Florida we went to a Picasso exhibit that showed how he was inspired by African art. Though I appreciate what he did for the world of art, breaking from the norm n boring expectations, what really inspired me from that museum show where all the trippy African masks. So by Tiffany’s next visit (last weekend) I was prepared with some “super sculpy” (a kind of slow drying clay) and a box of old toys and little funky objects I gathered on the road. I had a blast making this futuristic ancient tribal mask, I think he’s very unique! Still gotta give him a name, any suggestions?
