Masks

Masks give us the ability to become something else, to transform ourselves and find a new identity. Throughout the ages, masks have defined us, defied us and beguiled us. Starting with our ancient ancestors, steeped in ritual and ceremony, they connect us to whence we came.

All of these masks are small in dimension, lightweight and are easy to hang on the wall. All include a hook and are one of a kind. All have been crafted from building on a coconut shell with plaster and other materials. I love coconut ice cream so I had been collecting the shells for years. Many of the masks utilize little bits and bobs that I’ve found and collected over time. I like to think of these pieces as sustainable and environmentally friendly as they are created with recycled materials. They are truly a joy to make and put me in touch with a more playful element of my artistic practice.
