Original Mask Art — Sculptural Wall Masks
Every culture has made masks. The practice is ancient and universal giving form to what lies beneath the surface. It makes what is usually hidden visible .
My masks are contemporary expressions of that same impulse. Built from wire, paperboard, fabric, fiberglass, polymer, and acrylic paint, they range from life-size to extra large — physical presences that inhabit a wall rather than merely hang on it.
Each mask is an imaginative exaggeration of an archetypal quality. Jungian themes of the Shadow and transformation run through much of this work. Some faces hold two truths simultaneously — one eye open to the external world, one eye closed in introspection. These are not simply decorative objects, but entities that look back at you.
Each work is one of a kind. Sizes, media, and pricing noted with each piece below. Commissions considered.
“Witness” symbolizes truth through one open eye observing the external and one closed eye observing the internal.
These original masks are available for collectors seeking unique, hand-made contemporary artwork. Each mask is a one-of-a-kind original for private acquisition. For questions about the masks, shipping arrangements, or commission, contact the artist directly.
Each mask is a unique expression of a concept. The single exception “Zandezi”. This was a commission by Dell’Arte Institute. Three identical masks were created for the “Prize of Hope” which is awarded annually by Dell'Arte and the Danish Institute of Popular Theater. See additional description of the award and how this mask was conceived.
