Plaster Masks

Tobey Griem “Fish out of Water”

12X3X3.8 Plaster, Acrylic Paint, red gem eyeballs, 2018

I wanted to make a simple fish and that was all it was i decided to use the paint i did by looking at other type of fish then i used white and black paint for mouth and eye balls the only thing that changed is what i wanted to do for the eyes. I wanted to let the audience know that it is supposed to be a fish out of water and can tell by the mouth and how it looks like it is gasping for water. If i could change anything i would change the Mask type i would want to choose a different mask because i wanted to experiment with different ideas.I love that it captured the image i had for the mask and that i did not try to change to much like making the paint different and changing the animal.

Tobey Griem “Barn”

12X18,” Graphite on Paper, 2018

I developed an idea by imagining why i do in my life so i thought of how i work on the farm. I want my audience to think that yes this is a barn i can tell. Maybe the design idea of what i could make. I love that it is technically a part of me that i have lived something like this and that i did a good job shading.
