| MOCA Masks April 2009: Talk about challenging! Had the opportunity to submit a mask for the annual MOCA Mask show. I created "In the Face of It All" in pastel... This mask represents that moment in time when one receives overwhelming news and realizes that they do not know how they are going to cope. Will they be able to handle this news with grace and strength or will they fall apart and disappoint all they love? It is only a moment but one that is never forgotten. |
