Mask 1, (1997) Mixed Media
The first mask he did was for his daughters and how he would try and get them to bed every night and how he had an exercise rule over them. He wanted to try and make sculpture to appear larger to an average size human, how we would seem large to a child. This sculpture stood out for me because as soon as i saw it i knew exactly what Mueck could have been thinking when he made this. It has so much detail and emotion in it that it specks out so clearly. There is also a struggle in why Mueck has made this sculpture angry or forceful which also makes in interesting because there are so many ideas running through my mind.
