Clarence John Laughlin: The Masks Grow To Us, 1947
February 4, 2020
Clarence John Laughlin has stated:
"In our society, most of us wear protective masks (psychological ones) of various kinds and for various reasons. Very often the end result is that the masks grow to us, displacing our original characters with our assumed characters. This process is indicated in visual, and symbolic, terms here by several exposures on one negative--the disturbing factor being that the mask is like the girl herself, grown harder, and more superficial."
