Spirits
of the Forest Masks
Hello,
if you are new to my work, welcome. As my usual patrons know, I strive
for one of a kind pieces. With an emphases on originality, I seek inspirations,
or moments of creativity that inevitably present them selves during
the process of working what is probably the toughest medium for mask
making, leather.
Hand stretched and well pecked, each piece of leather is worked to loosen
the fibers which make up the body of the leather, this is done after
the leather is soaked in warm water, and before being stretched over
special forms witch I continually reformulate. Then, as the drying process
occurs, the mask is carefully worked using special tools, always progressing
toward what a given piece of leather may have to offer, I also rely
on my knowledge of creative design to capitalize on moments inspiration
as I search for that perfect mask. Finally, the mask is treated with
an ancient staining process or special coloring techniques.The end result
is hopefully a mask of timeless quality, worthy of even the finest collection.
