Care to say more about why you thought to create a jellyfish mask - what it means to you, and such?
I rarely have a definite idea of a desired end result. Drawing is a way for me to introspect. I don't know self enough to know what I'll get on the other end when a piece is done nor do I usually understand the meaning of what I've made.
It's awfully hard to give you a solid answer for what a jellyfish mask means to me.... I want to say 'it's a symbol for human existence' but everything can be a symbol for that. Mmm... okay. Here it goes. Mask = corporeal manifestation of a certain identity and jellyfish = liquid, egoless submission to existence, moving; so mask + jellyfish = insubstantial nature of human identity and the changeability of self.
Good?
When I see a new mask, I wonder about how it would be performed. (I am a scholar who studies nonverbal performance, however, so perhaps I'm a little biased?
To say the least, this is an inspiring work. And that's the best kind.
