Mixed Medium Project - Mask

Death Mask

When you left us I was

too young to remember your

face.

The years passed like shifting sand

and I was able to

forget

you, even though you were in my heart and in my head.

When I heard you were gone

for good, I thought I

would

cry for you. That didn't happen.

Not when I saw your

face

frozen in an unrecognizable smile, more

happy in death that in

life.

Creator's note:

For the first day of our challenge Theri and I were given the prompt mask. We have chosen to do our art separate from one another and then combine them at the end of the day. I find it interesting that we both went with rather somber representations of the idea of mask, even though we didn't really confer about our decisions.

All this to say- as we move forward our interpretations of our prompts may be more or less similar to one another. And that is the intent. I love the juxtaposition of interpretations, and I look forward to how far apart they may eventually be. I hope you'll enjoy the journey through this art challenge with us!
