ITPearance Mask
This sculpture is a historical ITP relic: it is from, for, and by ITP. The mask itself comes from Alter Ego’s, a class taught last semester by Ali Santana. The drawings on the inside come from an anonymously authored “Faces of ITP” zine; representations of how community members see themselves. Face inside a face. This mask can serve as an identity or a disguise. Their eyes are always watching. The eyes are a window to the … balloon.

Test: thought I could paper mache the pages into the mask but the marker bled
Use white glue to attach the pages to the inside of the mask
Sew the balloons into the eyes because they are too slippery to glue
Cut out shapes from foil
Both sides!
