Project in Progress

Black Gas Mask Project in Progress

These are two parts to what I am seeing as a three part mask. A hood I already have is the third. It is meant to be mechanical, but earthly too I used plaster strips to sculpt a skull like face and it almost gives the appearance of coal or stone. My plans are to use it in a film before the end of summer. I'll have finished pictures of the mask and full costume soon.

VETA

Experimental Film (2009)

This is my experimental film VETA. Veta is a female name that means God's promise and knowledge. The protagonist of this film is on an ever ending journey for a women. The face is a constant he is always seeing despite the women being different. Time does not exist in this world. The protagonist meets himself at various points in his life as a reflection of his journey and why he must go on his journey.
