Masks Inspired by Nick Cave

Little Ashcan used mixed mediums for this project—sculpture and paint! Nick Cave is an American sculptor known for his Soundsuit series: wearable assemblage fabric sculptures that are bright, whimsical, and other-worldly, often made with found objects. This same methodology was applied to his masks.

This week, students had the opportunity to create their own masks inspired by both Nick Cave’s Soundsuits and his own masks.
