MORE MASKS by Katharine Clark Gray
MATERNAL SKULL (full mask) Materials: Papier mache, varnish, glue.
This mask was the first in a series of Australopitheceine skulls, and I of course expected its behavior to be inarticulate and brutish, possibly violent. But amazingly, when worn this mask is very tender, with a strong maternal instinct. Who knew?
