Collaboration Update # 2

In order for Miya to make masks of each of our faces, I needed to make a cast using plaster bandages. Miya will use this cast to make the masks fit perfectly on my face! This was my first attempt at making a cast; it was a really fun process, and the fact that I’m learning new skills through this collaboration makes my project with Miya even more exciting.  
 
The next step: send the cast by post from Vancouver to Halifax, for Miya to work her mask-making magic!

The idea to play with scale between the mask and the body came directly out of conversation with Shion Skye Carter as part of their collaboration exploration together.
