comedy and tragedy
When I was in the sixth grade my best friend moved to the Philippines. She sent me these masks, comedy and tragedy, as a gift. I have had them hanging or displayed on a shelf ever since, no matter where I live. They never had any kind of proper hanger so last week I got a strip of leather and some gorilla glue and made a hanger of my own.

The big white flowers are made like ribbon roses, the smaller three are like knots- not as nice, but I needed something to balance the big ones. The not-perfect smaller blue ones are Farago Roses (and a big thanks to Sharon B for her advice on design in crazy quilting as well- I tried to use her "lead the eye" techinque in this mask).

The Bubbler in collaboration with the Neighborhood Intervention Program (NIP) and Prof. Faisal Abdu ́Allah present an art exhibition by Madison youth. "Mask Off!" brings together UW-Madison staff, The Bubbler, and teenagers of greater Madison to celebrate identity, alter egos, and human complexity. Based on 15 weeks of workshops with diverse artists, the project emphasizes the multi-vocality and diversity of the youth who are often at the forefront of the nation’s friction. The art, made by the teens, tells stories about the multiple facets of self-imagination versus determination by society. The alter egos that the teens developed reflect upon their adaptation to challenges encountered in their every day lives.
Brenda's craft this week was to make animal masks. The kids did a great job of decorating their masks and they looked so cute wearing them!

The Gas Mask Bling is an extension of an icon study. I was experimenting with the meaning that the icon took on when applied to various objects. First there were newspaper boxes, then an entire place setting, and now a gaudy hip-hop chain.
Here is the eye as I begin to roughly make cuts with an Exacto blade. I only go so far with the blade as I will finish and smooth with a rotary tool (i.e. dremel).

As a child growing up in New Orleans, masks were a big part of life. Our family gathered at Lee Circle every year on Mardi Gras to view the walking clubs and parades and see all of the wild costumes. We kids would make our annual unauthorized trip to Canal Street to soak up some real New Orleans culture, returning to our placid existence wide-eyed.
