My Mask


In creating this mask several principles and elements were used.  Lines in the bark show movement while the value in the color of the bark gives texture and depth.  There are many shapes and variety as I integrate technology with the organics of a tree creating a living breathing machine.   I wanted to make a helmet or mask that represented how I feel when ATV offroading in the woods.  The following pictures were used as a guide and inspiration to create an organic race mask.

I love nature, technology and their strange relationship together.  I correlated this into my mask and wanted portray an integration of the two.  This is the mask I wear when I cruising through wooded trails, as I take in the smell of gasoline, the woods and of course the mud! 
I wanted to take the basic shape of a helmet and make it more like a tree.  The organic shell on the outside of my design shows hints of a mechanical inside as an oversized performance motor.
