Sundays are always good for making art. These masks have a base from aquaculture (Penn Cove Mussell Discs that wash up on Marrowstone Island in good numbers); Bottle Caps; Toys (Yes, the hand grenade is a plastic toy); and a big oyster culture mesh bag. Note: The big nose on the whiskered mask is a toy golf club handle and the white marks on its face are scars from barnacles, indicating the disc had been adrift for at least one year.
All materials recycled objects and all the the plastic coated wire hair and whiskers were picked up on January and February beach cleanups on Marrowstone Island. Art by Fred. 2010.
Created for WSU Beach Watcher Workshop, 8 March 2010. Marrowstone Island, Washington.
