Tears of the Storm
finecraft







I have decided to call my mask "Tears of the Storm." My mask is based on a traditional venetian style jester mask. It is based with gold metallic paint, with an applied photo collage masking the eyes that depicts events that occurred during the evacuation of survivors from New Orleans. Five crystal "tears" line the bottom of each eye hole. The spikes around the outside of the mask are silk fabric transfers applied to a mardi gras style fabric, trimmed in gold braid, with bells attached to the points. The transfers are photos of New Orleans after the storm. Black mourning lace hangs from the bottom of the mask, covering the mouth area.
