Mask Examples




A friend of mine, Terese Elhard, from my school back home made these mask prints in a class last semester. I think they are a great example of the project we are all working on. She made the masks based on people in her life and used simplified imagery and pattern to serve as symbolic expressions of the people, for example one of them has a mountain range type shape on his head. Interesting examples I think!

  1. Beautiful designs...
    What were they made with?

    They look like digital composites?

  2. They are screen prints :)
    I think what she did was cut out the basic shapes out of paper and exposed those and screen printed them. Then she cut out the other shapes out of acetate printed with the pattern and exposed those and then screen printed them. I'm not sure if I'm explaining in the best way but hopefully it makes sense!
