Pink Floyd Gas Mask



I love the Gas mask creature from the wall so I wanted my last work to be of it. I like this work because it has a meaning. It is a very scared creature in a human like form showing us in a state of vulnerability. This is a powerful message and I wanted to take this creature out of the movie and show him in our environment to get his message across. To imagine humans so afraid of bombs and being hit is a powerful thing. That is part of what this work is supposed to evoke learning about a time when humans responded this way to an attack because at one point humans felt this way. I would like a work like this to either go to the rock and roll museum or to an extreme fan of Pink Floyd.

Elephant Duck Tape

I was very excited to make something big and I thought my favorite animal would be perfect. I was fun to make but hard. I used chicken wire and other types of wire and lots duck tape. I got hurt a lot making this project but it was awesome.
