Covering with mask

When looking round the studio, I found an old hairdressing head. I cut the rubber mask off and was unsure what I wanted to do with it. Then I remembered Gillian Wearing's 'Self Portrait at Three Years Old'. I experimented with the mask and the background of my photographs. I found the paint studio a little cluttered    so I hung some black fabric and placed a light on one side. But using the macro setting on the camera, I was able to take some very interesting shots close up. I wanted to get the detail around the eyes to make the mask more apparent.

I am very happy with these photographs but I am unable to see how I would fit this style into my work.
