Layered Masks

Using the 'layered papers' I created, I have made masks by cutting parts away. I held these in front of my face in the same manner used in my previous works. These masks show less of the subjects face underneath than in my other works.
I do find these interesting. They change my face into a deformed, fragmented character, my own face barely visible underneath. One very prominent thing about these images, is that the mask is in black and white which means that it is very separate from the face underneath. I am going to use these masks on other subjects to see how it works and then experiment with creating masks that are coloured and see what impact this has for how the face underneath is seen.
