Special Instructions

The painting "Starry Night" by Vincent Van Gogh inspires this mask.  The idea behind this mask was to distort the mask form so that it would not look like a mask.  The inspiration was to use the mask as a blank canvas and not consider the form of the mask in the painting of it.  It took many layers of paint and small lines to make the specific desired texture.
