A piece of art I saw that invoked strong feelings for me was the Thunderbird Transformation Mask by a ‘NAMGIS KWAKWAKA’WAKW artist. The art captured my attention because of the face in the middle. It looked creepy and gave an eerie feeling because of how lifelike and off putting it seemed at the same time. Looking at it from the side, I can see a resemblance to a bird which is what it’s meant to be when the mask is closed. Reading the short blurb under it, I thought it was interesting the way it was used for dancers who would wear it in a closed state and open it up using strings later on to show the face, snakes, and bird on the inside.
