I have decided that my major project is going to consist of masks. As of yet I haven’t come up with the best way to make these masks. I have plaster molds of three faces to make the masks on. So far I have made paper mâché masks to explore social media identity and how true it is.
Drawing inspiration from Aitor Throup’s constructed textile skulls I’v decided to try and make a constructed textile mask. To draw a pattern I first tried cutting out paper shapes an aligning them on the plaster head. However my results weren’t very good. Then I thought maybe I was going at it backwards. What if I made a mask and then cut it up to make the pattern?
I made a plain paper mâché mask, and then drew on it the sections that I thought would give me the best mask. Once I had cut these sections apart I just needed to add a seam allowance and cut them out of fabric.
