Two very early masks, done the same day, long before my internship at the Smithsonian. I was thinking about Africa and mud. Too small to wear, they were painted with gouache on black paper and cut out, eye sockets and mouth holes too, then mounted on black board. They both sold before I could frame them, to different people, out of the portfolio on the way to have slides made. There was a third one done during the same sitting, actually the first, that I keep for sentimental reasons that was not very successful. But good enough to get me started on these.
