The Pitch Angel

The Pitch Angel

LibArt 2025

Many ancient and historical masks were made to honor deities and concepts, this is a mask created to honor the silent importance of rot. Often condemned for what it takes, it is hardly given credit for what it gives. Without rot, nothing can be new. The mask is made to look like rotting, twisted branches and bark surrounded by the wings of black birds (often associated with death.) The entire array is inspired by biblical imagery of angels, specifically the Angel of Death.
