Quite litterally: Singing masks. Composer and maskmaker just go take a look! This is fabulous. "Much of the power and impact of Lowrey's work comes from the combination of archetypal material (in the appearance of the masks, gestures, and the sounds of water, percussion, and voice) and the collective participation of the audience. The pieces drew the listeners into various modes of parrticipation in a structurally strong and rightly intuitive flow of events. In that envelope of dreamtime, we listeners experienced a collective deep consciousness. This is music that transforms and heals."

Much of the work that she completed for Jambo was influenced by her experiences living and working in Niger, West Africa from 1996 to 19'98. Most recently, Rust collaborated with Boxtales on Waters of the Earth: Multicultural Tales of the Sea. Designed to depict various characters from seafaring mythologies around the world, this collection of masks and props reflects Rust's continually developing artistic style.

Inspired by the vast legacy of the Mexican mask tradition, it has been my intention to create a new type of mask to suit the sensibility of modern man and to reintegrate its use in society as a vital means of cultural and artistic expression. By blending figurative realism with natural elements, a new image is gestated which is simultaneously human and animal. This new mask strips away our civilized veneer in order to stress our instinctual impulses. A symbolic link is established between man and nature which echoes a primal message of man's dependency on animals and a cosmic order. The furs and horns can be likened to the NAGUAL (an Aztec tem used to describe the Guardian Spirit of Man), while emphasizing his animal characteristic and nature. Thus the term NAGUAL MASK is used to describe this modern style of mask.

Masks: Masks are not ornamental. I will never believe that they are. They are absolutely functional. In that sense, I suppose they cannot be considered fine art. But equally clearly they are more than craft. This then, puts masks in a particular category along with the petroglyphs of cave art, magical objects, and some religious art. Masks have a special function, an intent to enable and transform. When someone puts on a mask, he or she intends to become someone or something else, whether in play or in serious intent. In that transformation the person intends to gain power or insight.
