The 2015 MASKS Exhibition

©Laura Burlton, Mr. Fishhead, Houston, TX
What is the allure of wearing a mask? Does it allow us to try on new identities or change the way people see us? Is the mask wearing experience more powerful to the wearer or the viewer? We will let you answer the questions as you enjoy the three part 2015 Lenscratch Mask Exhibition! Thank you to all who submitted and a big thank you to Lenscratch Editor Grant Gill for compiling the exhibition, and finally, have a spooky and candy filled Halloween!
