'The Oprah Burial Mask'
A sculpture of Oprah Winfrey by artist Daniel Edwards. 'Standing before the burial mask of King Tut's great-grandmother when it was displayed in Philadelphia, I finally understood how the creation of an object could be the act of preparing for a better place. It inspired me to create such an object,' explains the artist, whose favorite reference for his contemporary burial mask was a photo of Oprah praying.
'I tried to depict the feeling of inner peace that was so evident on her face in that photo.' The Oprah Burial Mask will debut in Chicago on the 24th of April, near Oprah's Harpo Studios at GARDENfresh Gallery, courtesy of NYC's Leo Kesting Gallery.
