| Category: | Start / Mask making | | Description: | The making of each mask can take many days of detailed work. The first stage is the moulding of a plaster form to the size and shape of the actor's head. On to this is applied many layers of papier mache in order to build up the character's features. For the best masks a special tissue thin paper (hand - made from a tree bark called "khoi") is used. Up to 20 layers of khoi paper are glued on to the form, then the surface is dried and smoothed | | hits: | 2342 | | Added on: | 15-Mar-2001 | | Comments: | 0 |

I love creating visual art with almost every medium, but things like mask-making and puppetry are particularly fascinating to me as they bring art into that magical dimension of time and movement."

There is the person and there is the mask;
somewhere they overlap.
There is the dream world and the world of waking;
sometimes images merge.
There is his-story and there is the legend.
There is what I lost of my past.

| Category: | Start / Galleries - exhibitions - shops | | Description: | Nepal is a country at the crossroads between India and Tibet and thus the forms of worship found there contain elements of Indian Vedic and Tantric Hinduism as well as Tibetan Buddhism and Tibetan Bon (animism). The diminutive Nepalese "masks" shown here are small papier mache hangings meant to be placed on walls, especially above or beside doors and windows, to invoke the aid of popular Hindu deities. In the style typical of Tibetan and Nepalese tantric hagiography, they are all wearing elaborate pointed crowns and displaying their open third eyes.

| Category: | Start / Mask making / Methods | | Description: | Borrowing materials and techniques from millinery, maskmaker Katherine Snider has perfected a way to build lightweight, face-hugging masks. As Plates 1 and 2 demonstrate, each of her masks is a testament to her artistry. Just as importantly, each of them is the result of an approach that uses inexpensive and entirely non-toxic materials. This article, the first in a two-part series, describes the crafting of the base that is common to all her masks. Its sequel will address more advanced issues including the use of non-traditional materials and ways to finish a mask.
