Spirit Masks
Re-looking at these, didn't realize they were masks of the Four elements! The designs on the masks were spontaneously painted
Top Left: Earth(geometric shapes representing geophysical earth)/ Top Right: Water (water drops)/ Bottom Left: Fire (represented by lightening)/ Bottom Right: Air (represented by wing-shaped symbols)
nontoxic milk paint on Rhimax 100% post-consumer recycled paper/biodegradable
18" X 20"
Created by Mayah 7-23-2009
each mask is a cutout that was painted then rounded out and glued by the "ears" onto the background paper, giving the finished work a 3D look
