The King
This is the first in a series of 5 masks that I carved in the early part of 2018. We had two Aspen trees died on our property, originally cut for firewood, they hung around long enough for me to start seeing faces and animals in them. It was then that I decided to carve a series of masks, all out of the Aspen firewood.
This piece was first conceived with the general shape of the eyes leading down to the mouth. This turned out to be the untouched area, which used to be a cut off limb early on in the trees growth. The shape of the eyes and the lower forehead were the main aspects that I wanted in this mask. The crown came later and thus it became King.
