labricoleuseMy students presented their complex mask projects today, and i just LOVE them all! Check these out!
First-year grad Leah Pelz made this fun walkaround hippopotamus head!
The wearer looks out his happy open mouth.
Quarter-scale and half-scale versions which helped Leah figure out her final pattern.
(My fingers are there for scale.)
Second-year grad Adrienne Corral made the Lisa Frank unicorn!
The wearer looks out the eyedomes and the nostrils.
Side view of mask with Jumbo-Braid rainbow mane.
Quarter-scale and half-scale versions which helped Adrienne figure out her final pattern.
(My fingers are there for scale.)
First-year grad Kelly Renko made this old-man mask based on a Julie Taymor design!
The wearer looks out his creepy black eyes, which are the lenses of sunglasses. And speaking of creepy...
...his jaw rips off to spew ribbon blood! Ew!
Undergraduate Lydia Hanchett made this Skeksis mask from Varaform and buckram
on a carved blue foam matrix. The wearer has full vision through all layers!
Undergraduate Jess Adams made this traditional molded leather Pantalone mask.
He's my favorite Commedia guy! (Jess's matrix is at left.)
Second-year grad student Candy McClernan made this traditional molded leather skull mask, with the goal of modifying an existing mask matrix to withstand leather molding. At left you can see a customized "eye-tolliker" she made to create the depressions of the eyes as deeply as she wanted them. At center, the horn hammer used to make these traditional masks.
