The Gazelle masks are made by Skip Horton
from borosilicate glass that
is melted in a furnace, then "spilled" into the death-mask
molds. The cooler temperature gives a spaghetti-like appearance;
the hotter temperature allows the strings of glass to meld intoa
solid form.
All details - insects, flowers, etc.
- are made over a torch and then attached.
The skin-like surface is made of latex,
and is poured into the same mold through the glass. Some latex
is hand colored for a more realistic appearance.
These masks were exhibited at the Benton
County Museum in Oregon.
