This was the first of my "head" projects. My idea for the head projects was the concept of adaptive re-use: taking a pre-existing object and adapting it for current use. I took things in my house that I did not use anymore in this quarantine and made them into masks. This piece highlights the adaptability of society and how we were able to function in this new world. Additionally, the materials I reused represent different aspects of my life that were cancelled or affected by this pandemic. A mask made of a shimmering fabric and running shoe laces for prom and track, a mask of an old church t-shirt for church and my choir trip, a mask of jean material for school, a mask of an old washcloth for childhood, a mask of a takeout bag for eating out, a mask of a bandana for Girl Scout camp. Pictured below are the six masks in a grid and the jean mask on me.
