where u can buy authentic tribal masks worth over 100 $ and more.my work is inspired by them .but with 1 execption my work is made of 100% recycle elements.
i do not use any computer : i sketches it the old-fashioned way,
by drawing it out on a piece of paper.
Each piece is built through a process of cutting, layering, and sealing with a non-toxic glue.
For a more sculptural texture, i usually run to my cardboard through a paper-shredder and make it into a putty with glue and water.
IMPORTANT NOTE;
1. the mask is about 10 inch.
2.in the second picture the earings are made of shells , i collected them form india.do u know these shells were used as money in 16-18 century BCE in china,it was called shell money.
3.in the first pic u can see im hanging in the wall.so its not heavy and easily can be hanged in the wall.
Who would have thought that you could achieve such creative works of art with a material that most people toss in the trash without a second thought? It just goes to show that with a little creative thinking, we could save mountains of materials from landfills– they’re all useful to somebody
if u like my work , it would mean alot to me.thanx
