It’s all in the eyes

Most of the faces I make don’t have eyes. When I was much younger and painted, my figures usually had their eyes closed. Later on, I became fascinated with masks, but almost all of mine had hollow spaces there (if worn, they might be filled by human eyes, but otherwise they stared, empty, from the [...]

As I said in my last post, I have a deep fascination with and love for puppetry, so of course I’ve always been a fan of Jim Henson.
