Masks
2019-Present

Following several months of exploring starch-based bioplastic as a potential mask-making material, I successfully replicated my 1999 Goblin Art Studio "Curly Masquerade" mask design* by combining the bioplastic with biodegradable cellulose fiber (recycled paper pulp).

The resultant material was pressed into one of my original plaster molds. Finished with natural pigments including calcium carbonate and charcoal.

Not for sale.

*The original Curly Masquerade mask was cast from synthetic neoprene rubber and painted with acrylic paint. 

Following several months of exploring starch-based bioplastic as a potential mask-making material, I successfully replicated my 1999 Goblin Art Studio "Tree Hobgoblin" mask design** using natural and biodegradable materials.

This variation of the mask was formed from recycled burlap over a plaster mold, then a top coat was applied using a custom bioplastic-based modeling compound made with recycled cellulose material. Painted with natural pigments using a hide glue binder.

Not for sale.
