This was a mask made for a horror-themed fashion show, Visage Macabre. A little retrospective of the process start to finish. Someday I'll get good images of it being worn.

The nearly complete clay sculpt with expoy beak and eyes.
Clay maquette, maybe four inches long.
Concept drawing- Bird Mask. 2009. Pencil. 10"x 8".
Kind of wish I had kept the narrower beak, makes her look more spiteful I think.
There's a great deal of detail in your work, Owen. I specifically enjoy the "sliminess" of Monstrosity and this bird mask.
ReplyDeleteI wonder, does your created realism come from closely studying a model animal, or from trial and error with the medium?
