As a child all my imaginary friends were little monsters/demons.
These masks investigate the culture of the distorted humanoid form. Benevolent and malevolent. As oni, demon, geist, spirits, animal spirits, angels, ghosts.
The masks act as ruins, guards, and protectors. Vessels for the transformation of energy and thought
In this group the masks are also manifestation of my emotions. each representing a singular emotion and an emotion of a particular time in my life.
The style of mask I am paying tribute to are african tribal masks and masks of asian theatre.
