Persona and the masks we wear

     http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-wear-the-mask/

Having decided to base my work on persona inspired by a poem by Paul Dunbar "The mask we wear " I started making Modroc masks to capture the essence of a face.I had a mask of my own face made which is a strange and poignant experience as it sets quite quickly making you feel trapped and I found I had to really focus and concentrate on my breathing.

I was quite pleased with the results and set about changing the surfaces and joining some of them together to portray the many masks we wear in our daily life.
