Insect Masks

These are insect masks made in response the Franz Kafka book the metamorphisis.
In the book the lead character greg turns into a dung beetle therefore begun researching different types of beetles and insects.
I came across some african beetles at the Huntarian Museum of Zoology, i liked the colours and the patterns of them and as a result i looked at african textiles which inspired the final masks.
I decided to make two makes because i felt in the book Greg's parents were the real insects for allowing their son to starve to death. Therefore these are masks made for his parents.
