Sketches, Masks, and Trinkets
I wrote about my ideas for the next series of photographs/prints in a post in February and since then I’ve been working on the mask and other props, and drawing out some very quick (5 minute) sketches - all of which you can see above.

These new pieces of artwork will continue the existing series of pseudo-mythological characters that I wrote about a couple of weeks ago .
I’m hoping to get started on this project during April.
The quick sketches have been an interesting process for me - I feel like I’m slowly choreographing some weird primordial ritual. It’s quite fun.
