"I have been building masks and puppets since 1996, and sculpting and drawing since I was old enough to hold a crayon. I love creating visual art with almost every medium, but things like mask-making and puppetry are particularly fascinating to me as they bring art into that magical dimension of time and movement."

Nepal is a country at the crossroads between India and Tibet and thus the forms of worship found there contain elements of Indian Vedic and Tantric Hinduism as well as Tibetan Buddhism and Tibetan Bon (animism). The diminutive Nepalese "masks" shown here are small papier mache hangings meant to be placed on walls, especially above or beside doors and windows, to invoke the aid of popular Hindu deities. In the style typical of Tibetan and Nepalese tantric hagiography, they are all wearing elaborate pointed crowns and displaying their open third eyes.

Xothique Designs' exclusive masks are hand crafted in leather and papier mâché using traditional techniques by experienced UK mask maker Helen Rich, aka 'Xothique' (or 'Zothique'). Styles range from traditional theatre costume and masquerade masks inspired by the Venetian Carnevale to more exotic gothic and fantasy themes popular at Halloween and Faerie-themed events. Some, such as the popular Welsh Red Dragon mask, are truly unique — similar mouldings can be created, but no two masks will ever be identical. Others, like these party masks, are kept as permanent moulds, and can be decorated to meet your requirements. Xothique Designs masks are all entirely hand-made by the artist — you will find no plastic, card or ready-made mask forms here. You can buy Helen's masquerade masks direct from the Xothique Designs shop. If you have a specific design in mind, please check out Helen's commissions page, and get in touch to discuss your ideas.

( SCROLL DOWN PAGE TO GET TO THE MASKS ) Borucan craftsman have for centuries created elaborately carved balsa and cedar masks as essential accoutrements of the festival. They originally depicted jaguars, mountain pigs, mythological and ancestral figures (personajes y los antepasados). As resistance to the Conquest grew, the character of the ritual and the masks changed to include ghoulish devils, which is of course a European idea, bearded Spaniards, mules, horses, blacks (from contact with slaves) and, importantly, the bull as the symbol of the Conquest

? Azur & les A?roplanes ?, a theatre company founded by visual artist Patricia Gattepaille, has chosen to explore the infinite and extraordinary territories of the Mask. Why the Mask ? What the genius of mankind has invented to celebrate the gods and nature, Mourn the dead, glorify the living, laugh, provoke awe or admiration, educate, celebrate Love, solemnise meetings, mock, recite poetry, cure? All this has been done by calling on the Mask.. In theatre, the Mask is a sculpture as much as it is a character. One does not wear a Mask thoughtlessly but with lightness and precision. Wearing a Mask involves bringing into play one?s own humanity. Restoring the Mask?s spectacular place at the heart of life. Participating in the understanding of the world?s cultures through the Mask. ? Azur & les A?roplanes ? pursues these two objectives through various activities : mask making on commission, training courses for professionals, exhibitions, shows, creative workshops for all. We will mask them all ! Just to clear things up?

Annual Brunka tribal ceremony in the villages of Boruca and Rey Curr?, South Pacific zone of Costa Rica. ?This symbolic celebration is of a post-colonial origin, it represents the tireless struggle between the Spanish and the natives. It encompasses the whole process of the historic confrontation of our great-grandfathers as well as the defense our ethnic cultural values. This struggle was also in defense of the traditional social system of the aboriginal peoples ? their culture, their forms of communal organization etc. It was recognized very early that the new ideology and methodology inspired by the colonist was to the detriment of our way of life, our environment and our ancestral knowledge and resources. Today we, their descendants, are suffering the consequences: the elimination of the forests, the drying up of our rivers, the rapid extinction of our native fauna, the brazen extraction of our archeological heritage, the contamination of land and waters.? (Rodolfo Rojas, Brunka leader of Rey Curr?, 1995)

The act of mask making gives me both kinesthetic and visual pleasure, as the leather flows beneath my fingers. A dialogue develops between myself and the leather and it is as if I'm shaping water, molten rock or wind. Two of the masks on this page are what I call masked masks.
