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.

The ancient shamanic rite of mask-making is a powerful healing ritual to awaken to archetypal energies and rebalance energies. It is a process of going into a quiet meditative state to call upon the unconscious forces to surface. The image is "dreamed" into the mask as it is molded to one's face. Then through the art of designing the mask, the energies surface in the conscious mind enabling you to work with them in your life and awaken you to deeper and higher states of awareness. I am available to do individual one-on-one mask-making healings or mask-making workshops.

Bule, como se conoce a este maestro del arte de la confecci?n de m?scaras, se aparta del tradicional diablo para crear unas impresionantes caretas inspiradas en la morada final de hombre, la muerte. Los rostros creados por ?l, representan osamentas que abren sus mand?bulas y saca a relucir una impresionante dentadura elaborada con dientes de vaca, cerdo o cualquier otro animal. Lantigua Cruz, artista y profesor, experimenta con varias t?cnicas en su trabajo, adem?s de las m?scaras mencionadas anteriormente, crea otras inspiradas en sus propias fantas?as e investigaciones, como lo son, aquellas que nos remontan a la legendaria Africa, con rostro tosco y pelo realizado con soga o cabuya.

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.?

Leema Sam is a small entrepreneur. She makes masks, Thanjavur dolls and dancing horses. Her creations have even reached the Galerie Lafayette in Paris and Harrods in U.K, where her masks are much sought after. But at one time, Leema?s story was that of a struggler, groping for a foothold in the small-scale handicraft industry.

"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"

I have studied various art forms, from graphic design to fashion design, and dance, as well as self taught expressions such as jewelery design and poetry writing. Each of these mediums has influenced my mask designs. I became interested in mask design while studying Anthropology, as well as vast metaphysical literature. My methods are all self taught and I don't plan any of my pieces, I just go with the flow. Materials range from velvet and leather to crystals,chain, plaster and feathers. Each of these masks were titled after completion. They became themselves I guess. I started creating as a small child and have found the true path of my soul through creation. I welcome any inquiries for commissioned works or creative partnerships such as fashion shows or photo shoots. Please refer to the contact page on this site.

The history of C?sar goes back to the 19th Century. At that time the Barthelemy couple used goose feathers (and other feathers) to write. But then steel nibs appeared and were considerably better than the feather. Thus the Barthelemy?s decided to abandon writing, but not the feathers, and in 1842 they started to make masks..... from feathers. In 1905, a certain Mr. C?sar - whose parents lacked neither humour nor ambition for their son when they called him ?Jules? - took over the business and gave it his name. The children, grandchildren, great grand children of Jules C?sar succeeded him at the head of the business until 1991, when it was sold to the current Chairman and Managing Director, Richard Roizen
