Mixed media painting

While making an assemblage some time ago I fell in love with the colourful and cheerful buttons that were part of it. They, and some wire inspired this abstract painting.

In the past I had been bothered by the crude transition between the 3D components and the 2D background in my experiments with this medium. The interruption of the flow seemed all too obvious. I think in this work I have made a lot of progress which drives me to come up with variations on the theme.

New mask

Yes, there will be more masks until my curiousity and effort to take them to a place other than what they traditionally represent is satisfied.
