Mask Diptych (Goat Scene & Volcano Beach)

Oil on gesso primed mask
15.5 x 20cm
This work is unique. 

Mortimer’s treated mask is splayed as a diptych, like a folding renaissance altarpiece. One panel showing a beach scene overshadowed scenic destruction, symbolic of escapism. Opposite, a pleasant landscape with goats and sheep, though the ambiguous scene of man in the distance leaves the peacefulness open to question.
