Artist's Comments

Another old one from 2005. I was taking a ceramics class and the assignment was to make a mask, so I made one that looks like a sockeye salmon because they are so delightfully hideous.

There are eyeholes over the gills, which are not very apparent once you put it on. The mask is really comfortable on your face, but too heavy to be very practical so it's mostly just for decoration. I have no idea how big this piece is and I don't have it with me to measure it. My mom currently has this thing. She keeps it on the kitchen table and uses it to bother the cat, terrify the houseguests, and hold the mail (it holds paper napkins during dinner. Who knew a gigantic fishhead would be such a nice centerpiece? I know it's certainly what I like to look at while I eat.)

Unfortunately there's a lot of detail that gets lost in these photos, which makes me sad. Modeling the fishhead is my friend and classmate who was oddly fond of this thing.

*lol* That's awesome. ^_^ I loved ceramics. You get to make the most wild stuff in those classes. Great job with the scales and glazing and everything! The teeth are especially nice.

That looks scarily surreal on a person. Like the -poof- ! upper head gone.

Anyways, creepy but wonderfully detailed! I'm jealous of a centerpiece like that.

This has to be my favorite of all you posted XD

I love the fishhead- ugly is surprisingly tasteful eyecandy. The scale detail is really nice though, I can tell it must look better in real view.

really awesome, it looks very good. I love salmon... yum

This would be so much fun to wear to a masquerade! There should be more masquerades. They are sadly out of fashion at the moment. :(

I didn't realise you were such an incredible sculpter. I think it would be a lot of fun to have something like this to scare guests with and hold napkins. :XD:

I always love ceramics. What a 'delightfully hideous' job too. Gives me the heebeejeebees.
