The Long Sleep
The third is a series of five masks all carved out of Aspen wood, trees that were on our property, died and were cut for fire wood. This piece, along with Tree Spirt, came about because after I cut the trees down for firewood I didn't stack them right away and so I would see them as I was out and about the yard.
This one was very easy to see a face and I knew I wanted to leave the bark and most of it natural. I like the shock value of the eyes, I think it creates a more complete face. The vast majority of the work on this mask was hollowing out the back while protecting the the bark.
