SOLO SHOW BEHIND THE MASK

Historically masks have had a place in all cultures for ceremonial events, expressing power, fear, protection, beauty, celebration and idealization.

Subconsciously we all learn to wear masks to maneuver smoothly throughout society.

We are judged and judge others first by our visual assessment of one another.  Is it the subtle curve of a mouth, the angle of one’s nose, the intensity on a look….ECT

A manmade mask is a static facial expression frozen in time and space. Each viewer is left to  determine the emotion the frozen expression leaves them with.
