Tree Hobgoblin, 2020
Tree Hobgoblin, 2020
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.
** The original Tree Goblin mask was cast from synthetic neoprene rubber and painted with acrylic paint.
