"Monkey Man No. 2" from The Mask Series This mask was given to me by a friend who had recently returned from Indonesia . The wooden mask was hand carved and painted in vibrant colors. As this project progressed, people began to give me masks to use from around the world. I was interesting to see the various cultures interpretation of the same animal and this monkey mask is no exception. My subject was immediately drawn to it and chose it from my bag of masks. He then proceed to embody the characteristics of that animal effortlessly.

As always, two limited edition prints are available to purchase through my Etsy store . Julie Green June 20, 2015 Subscribe to o...
