The masks and collages are forms of self portrait. They were produced in The Humanities course at Southwest Georgia Technical College as a project that combined the concept of the Roman Death Mask with the idea of modernist fragmentation. The Cento Poems were produced as a poetic forms and documentation assignment for English 1101 by students at the Grady Campus.
