The mask was created by plastering my own face – got pretty hard to breathe after a while!
Before I closed the cube off… those lights got replaced by red ones.
The lights are positioned exactly where the reflection of the viewer’s eyes would be had that area not been drilled to fit the lights in. They light the cube, but blind the viewer.
This is what it looks like from the outside once it’s lit up. It’s creepier in reality – my camera wasn’t able to capture all the light spilling out.
So to view the sculpture, the viewer sticks their head in to the mask & then the lights and audio get turned on. It would be nice if all of this could happen automatically but I have horrible luck with technology so this is how it is for now.
