Specularis – “reflective, seeing through.” Root of speculum (mirror).
These masks look great on your wall or on your face! This wearable art is inspired by both traditional wood shaman masks and contemporary geometric art.
The masks are made from layers of intricately laser cut birch plywood stacked and glued together. The eyes have dichroic acrylic lenses that reflect light but can easily be seen through with some of your peripheral vision limited. The mask is padded for comfort and is held on with a 3 point strap system.
This mask is about 12x12x4 inches.
For the painting scheme we can do basically anything you want. Do you have any specific ideas of what colors you would like your mask custom painted? We can make it your favorite colors, or paint it to compliment the room that you will display it in. I can do anything you have in mind from muted natural tones to vibrant colors or flashy metallics, some glow in the dark, or holographic glitter effects. If you don't have anything in particular in mind I can come up with a fun color scheme for you!
I will make a donation to plant a tree for each sculpture sold with One Tree Planted. Help fight deforestation by buying art!
