Beautiful Venetian masks. "As an Art Shaman, Farago conjures a world of drama, irony, and whimsy using archetypes such as the romantic, the fool and the hypocrite. She embraces art as a way to solve the innate dilemma of the human condition."

"Her soft, colorful masks are still decorated in the old style, using virtually anything at hand. But instead of the broken jewelry, bird feathers, and animal bones her ancestors might have gathered on their farms, Launey "scavenges? at the craft supply section of her local Wal-Mart. She might use a plastic snake for a tongue or shoulder pads for lips"

The first time I saw Michelangelo's David I was five years old. The second time I saw it I was thirteen and it shocked me because of how much it had shrunk. Michelangelo wrote - 'Whoever does not like the leaves ought not to come here in May.' The story is time, cronos, circular time. The size and shape of things change. Everything influences me even in its absence. Without the memories that I have developed through time I would be a child freshly born...no, I would be just-conceived. I am always building on this story and working toward the end of it, may it be death or forgetfulness. I end up spending a large portion of my time making things that seem to have little purpose like paintings, sculptures, masks, and music. I get absorbed in them and trough them. I sometimes brush up against that being before memory started...if memory started. It's like digging to find a hole.?

Mask making is another of my life long passions. My masks are original works which are often influenced by masks from other cultures. Because masks can function as transformational tools, I make only wearable masks that are comfortable to use for all types of performance work. (You can also see some of my work displayed at masks.org.)

The magic fascination of Venice is its history, its past, its ever-lasting tradition; it gives life to precious and special forms of art. Of all the expressive forms, the mask is the object which most represents the Venetian spirit, a spirit of feasting and enjoyment. In the wake of this tradition,in Calle dei Nomboli near S. Tom?, opposite the house in which Carlo Goldoni was born,GUALTIERO DALL'OSTO, a graduate of the Accademy of Fine Arts of Venice, keeps this ancient art of mask- making alive in his TRAGICOMICA workshop.

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.

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.
