I had an idea to reassess what a mask is and what it does. I started by dividing the face in to different zones, my idea was to cut these zones and mount them on a base to create a 3D effect. I liked the idea of rotating the masks until they formed the face. I did a rough model using wooden dowel with the picture mounted on board and a base mask to fix to. It’s proving very difficult and Im not sure if it’s possible other than using a computer generated model. I will chat with Wendy in my next meeting to see if its worth pursuing. If the concept worked it would be a good way of transferring the still image to video to display in a gallery.
