This mask took a lot of time and hard but we are finally done and they look great. I am happy with  the out come of my mask. The hardest part was getting the plaster around the swirls. The part i enjoyed most was the painting i just loved mixing and combinding the colours. I loved this project even thought it was messy at times.





The creature represents the good and the bad and how there is good within the bad and bad within the good; sometimes more on one side then the other. When there is too much good the creature creates a shadow of darkness. When there is too much bad the creature creates swirls of happiness. This creature is two faced it can’t choose a side creating balance within.   Black hides, while white brings to light. What black covers, white uncovers.  White is colour at its most complete and pure, the colour of perfection. The color meaning of white is purity, innocence, wholeness and completion. The colour meaning of black is dark.
