I am empty of everything but the thin,
frail ghosts in my room."

I made this paper mache skull mask as part of my 2012 "No Day Without Art" 365 days project.
Making this mask (and two other companion masks) was definitely one of my favorite projects from that year. Amazingly, I've never used any of them in a self portrait, until now.
Taking this guy out of his box made me want to make more masks.
