I had a blast photographing people trying on my masks at the Ojai "Art-in-the-Park" this weekend. I love to see how the combination of a mask and a person creates a new entity, more than the sum of its parts, and how that new being is released and expresses itself...
Odd dream - there was a woman wearing a mask in it - though it was a more comfortable one than this being made of tartan!

Raksha masks are traditional demon masks from Sri Lanka that play an important role in festivals, ceremonies, and cultural performances. "Raksha" means demon in Sinhalese. They have predated Buddhism for many years, and are associated with the Rakshasas, a mythical race that once ruled Sri Lanka and could shape-shift.
More or less completed! He is fitted for my face but not really wearable as there are no breathing holes and it's a little heavy (3 lbs). The mane is made from wool that i dyed and shaped. The teeth will get a satin sheen.
I'm really happy with this and will be making more yokai (japanese monsters) and some others....
With the range of chemical and dust based hazards on many worksites, respiratory masks have become essential pieces of personal protective equipment. View our masks at www.aasafety.com.au/safety-gear/respiratory-protection
One of my first forays into flash shooting with my 430EX. The very cool owner of "Ancient Grounds," allowed me to shoot in his store. This place is possibly the all time best coffee shop/Japanese and Pacific NW artifact shop in the world. Maybe the only one too, but one of the neatest shops I've ever been in, and the coffee rocks. If you're in Seattle it's a must-see downtown.

Born in Japan, the actor and dancer Ohta Hisa (1868–1945) performed under the name Hanako, meaning ‘Little Flower’. She was 33 and still relatively unknown when she came to Europe to perform. Inevitably, these performances reflected a Western idea of Japan.
Her fame was based on her compelling enactment of seppuku or harakiri, a Japanese suicide ritual traditionally reserved for men.
Ohta and Rodin met in 1906, when she performed at the Colonial Exhibition in Marseille, an event held to bolster support for France’s colonial conquests. Rodin was fascinated by her stage persona. After early realistic portraits, he tried to capture the look of anguish she displayed on stage, an expression so tense that she could not hold it for longer than half an hour.
The Musée Rodin holds over 50 busts and masks of Ohta, more than any other sitter. While in most of his sculptures Rodin focused on the body, he only depicted Ohta’s face, an allusion perhaps to the masks used in Japanese theatre.
It was not until Rodin’s death that Ohta finally received the two masks he had promised her in return for her labour.

The Making of Rodin
(May – November 2021)
Working at the turn of the 20th century, Auguste Rodin broke the rules of classical sculpture to create an image of the human body that mirrored the ruptures, complexities and uncertainties of the modern age.
This major exhibition is the first to focus on the importance of plaster in his work. Although Rodin is best known for his bronze and marble sculptures, he himself worked as a modeller, who captured movement, light and volume in pliable materials such as clay and plaster.
This presentation evokes the atmosphere of the artist’s studio. Plasters casts in all sizes show how he continually experimented with fragmentation, repetition and joining existing parts in unconventional ways. Some of his best-known works were influenced by this process, including The Burghers of Calais, which is represented here by the newly restored original plaster.
With the process of making at its heart, the exhibition also considers the complex dynamics of the workshop, as well as between the artist and his models and collaborators, including fellow sculptor Camille Claudel, the Japanese actress Ohta Hisa, and the German aristocrat Helene Von Nostitz.

Home with another round of headaches. This is a gel mask which provides some relief (along with superior painkillers). sigh.
Teens attended a workshop that took on a fascinating Egyptian theme with Cobra shapes, pyramid masks, and other Egyptian designs.
These are selection 1. Of the MASK Figures I got from my good pal Matt Griffiths.
In this lot from left to right: Matt Tracker, Nash Gorey, Floyd Malloy, Hondo Maclean, Bruno Shephard, Hondo Maclean again, Buddy Hawkes & Ace Riker.
This mask was collected by Frederick Dally. Our records describe it as skillfully carved and a realistic portrayal of the artist's wife.
My Mother had crazy nutty humor. Which, I think I got from her. She like too run around and scare the kids of Sweden with different masks. Her favorite mask was an Old Woman’s Mask. Also, she thinks it was Sexy.
