I spent 40 hours creating this mask out of maple and cedar bark.

I started out my carving journey influenced by the beauty of African, first nations and other aboriginal tribal customs when it has come to their ceremonial masks.

This mask is not a reproduction of any of my early influences but is more an homage to them.

Dimensions 23″ high x 17″ wide x 6″ deep
