Stage 1 Project 3: Facade

"All of us have ways in which we mask and cover our pain." by Iyanla Vanzant

The Stage 1 facade project is to create a visual narrative with a curiosity and questioning approach together with a focus on the relationship between materials, surfaces, form, contrast and shadow. I chose to create a mask that communicates a narrative about autistic and PTSD 'masking' behaviour by creating a mask with 3 layers showing outer public self, angsty self and inner self. The image on RHS is of the final outcome of my project photographed in dark corner of college studio with lamp underlighting to accentuate the three layers and penertration by shadows. The mask is in an ancient Greek Tragedy mask style.
