I began by making simple notes that outlined potential ideas, as well as certain things I would have to take into consideration when developing and constructing the mask.
One of the more developed ideas I had was for the mask to reflect my feelings on moving and my circumstances in a new city.
From there, I produced some pencil drawings that looked at line and expression. Did I want the face/portrait to be loose and cartoony, or sharp and realistic?
I also wanted the mask to have some sort of textural element to it - whether this was through pencil (like the face sketches above) or by using paint or collage.
Texture would stop the mask from looking too stark or synthetic, and the techniques/materials used above create patterns that are spontaneous and one-of-a-kind.
