“Masks are a means by which human groupings attempt to communicate their dignity and sense of purpose"

Mike Sullivan is an artist and musician. His work includes sculptural headwear made with materials ranging from natural objects to jewelry and broken mirror. Mike immersed himself in the queer communities in Provincetown and New York City. There he found a passion for portrait and documentary photography. With roots in the theatre, Mike has produced several concerts and collaborations with other singers and musicians as fundraisers for different causes.
"Ornate and decadent, yet composed of elements from the natural world like peacock feathers, flowers, and branches as much as jewels, shards of broken mirror, and found objects, Mike Sullivan's masks, crowns, and headpieces evoke dichotomies, split personalities, clashes of materials, ideas, and ideals. And yet the dramas within them ultimately feel balanced."
