Some cheap little Chinese clay masks I bought second hand, I suspect
they are just airport tourist tat, but their fierce expressions and lush
beards lend them a striking appeal. I absolutely love masks (or any
depiction of the human form really). There is something very rich about
the disguise, the distortion and the materials combining to reflect
cultural origins, myths and ideas. I am quite an avid collector of
masks, more will follow these dramatic warriors I'm sure...
