Next in the ‘universal’ emotions set, anger. It was oddly difficult to find non-fake/cartoony reference images of anger, particularly of women. Key features are wide eyes under a furrowed brow, and a squared-off open mouth, pulled back and down.
I intend to sculpt some of these exaggerated expressions in clay, once my mildly injured hand (there was a frozen dog food incident I can’t go into here) is fully recovered.
A while back I ran away from a twentymumble-year corporate career to be a feckless art student. Since then I've dirtied my hands with, metaphorically and/or literally, bronze and ceramic sculpture, photography, and digital and traditional illustration. Mask making was one discovery, dovetailing with my interests in teaching and performing improvised theatre.
