The Mask

The Mask is one of the most detailed pieces I have ever created. This piece was a true meditative experience. The background of this piece.... as it moves from purples to oranges... was created using the hatch technique, with super fine tip markers. 

This piece was a meditation on creating a global, multicultural tapestry that is protected by the natural world. The mask itself is composed of water ripples, or fingerprints depending on how you look at it. The mask also features a mushroom design above the eyes because mushrooms are considered to have the most advanced underground networks on the planet.

In my opinion, solidarity between peoples, and the creation of thriving networks between peoples, is necessary for the survival of humanity. Strong networks are essential to any striving community.  

The building blocks at the bottom represent three dimensional zones of rest for all those helping to build a solidarity based tapestry for humanity. 

The bulbous interstellar flower in the top right corner serves as a beacon of hope. Located in a northern corner to remind us to remember our best selves, and to always find our North star.
