These realistic marine animal masks are the work of Liz Sexton, and show a beautiful realism, despite looking charmingly absurd on their human wearers.
From sea turtles to angler fish to whiskered walruses, the masks were part of a series for the Minneapolis Marine Art Museum entitled Out of the Water.

“Many of Sexton’s sculptures portray species that, in their native habitats, are under threat as they increasingly become entangled in nets and suffer the effects of the climate crisis. The delicate and often awkward balance between the human-made environment and natural ecosystems is highlighted in photographs of the masks in atmospheric settings by the artist’s partner and collaborator Ben Toht.”
