'''Mask-making experiments''' | |||
I started making masks when I began thinking about taking casts of some of the statues in Weimar. The more I looked at the statues, the more interested I became in the variety of copies and alternative representations of the same figures. | I started making masks when I began thinking about taking casts of some of the statues in Weimar.

I began making masks from statuettes I could buy in tourist shops, thinking of them as being somewhere between object and assosiation. Perhaps somewhere between life and death, or better, between materiality and immateriality. | I began making masks from statuettes I could buy in tourist shops, thinking of them as being somewhere between object and assosiation.

Exhibition test between two spaces in the Adieu Marie group exhibition. I was nterested in showing a similar-sized representation of an elephant in another part of one of the two spaces; invoking a play on the scale of the mask, but also refering to the literary giant.
