Plaster Mask I chose to do this piece over deer hunting for a few reasons. Deer hunting has been in my life since I was born. When I think back to past years and the biggest memory form them, all that really comes to mind is what buck I have shot. My family has deer hunted around Sheridan since it was first legal to hunt them in Lower Michigan around the 1930’s! I respect the spirit of the white tailed deer and enjoy being among the great creature. It’s the thrill of the hunt that keeps me going year after year. Starting on this project I didn’t know how I was going to do it. The only thing I knew is that I wanted my face to look like a antler trophy plaque. But as I went on I started to think deeper and brought up some ideas about what actually has been a drive for me to hunt. The conclusion I came to was a man named Fred Bear and my family. I would still be a hunter without these motivations, but it wouldn’t be as much of a fun tradition for me. I think this project turned out well overall. If I had more time I would’ve made it bigger and had more detail. But I think it displays my feelings and experiences in hunting well. I have almost every single buck that I have shot included on it. I would not change much if I were to do it again.
