Purple Masquerade

mask

Materials: paper, beads, feathers 

Technique: paper collage, lettering

Size: 30 x 20 cm

Description: As part of the 35th anniversary exhibition “Exotica” ATASDA members were invited to create a mask which was ‘flamboyant, frivolous, vibrant, eye-catching, colourful and exotic’! 

I love the colour purple, and so I decorated my mask to reflect the exotic personality I wish I could have!

As well as beads and feathers, I included some words: “Our social lives are colourful masquerades crafted to protect our secret inner selves”.
