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.?

Hi, I live in the U.S., and I am an Aviculturist. I have been studying on my own how to make masks and I find it fascinating. So far have made about 20, and most of them have feathers from my peacocks, parrots, and other Avian friends, when they molt.

Each Powermask is made from the wood of the Queen Palm that grows in South West Florida. As the artist feels each piece of palm wood she holds it until she senses the essence or the spirit of the wood. A story and/or lessons about life are taught through the use of etchings and multi colored paintings. Those who are engaged in their own desire for improvement and spiritual growth can use the Power Masks as an adjunct tool/technique for meditation and visualization. The artist feels the Masks can be helpful in trying to reduce the stress of daily life.

MaskaSoo was created to share with you the mystery of the masquerade. Its creator calls herself an artist rather than a mask-maker, as she creates her masks from imported plastic molds, which are sometimes either cut and/or reshaped to achieve the desirable shape. These molds, you could say, act as canvas for the artist to express her art. Each mask is hand-made, one-at-a-time, by only one artist and is the results of her passion and love for the art of creating magical power through fascinating designs. We can only wish that these masks evoke in you the same feeling as those described in reference to Swarovski's "Masquerade" trilogy crystal figurines: "They reach out and touch our souls, stir up our emotions, and kindle the desire in us all to join in the mystery of the masquerade". MaskaSoo is now making these masks available to anyone who is a mask lover or collector, or simply anyone who wishes to join in the "Masquerade".

"My heritage and respect for the beliefs and culture of Native Americans has inspired me to represent their world in my creations. Each work of art has a legend, and is designed and completely handmade by myself just as my ancestors have made them for centuries. Each feather and every brushstroke is placed with passion and an extreme admiration for my forefathers, the 'First Americans'. I am affiliated with the Cherokee Archives of America, National American Indian Enrollment Agency, and the National Association of Fine Artists. "

Mask making is another of my life long passions. My masks are original works which are often influenced by masks from other cultures. Because masks can function as transformational tools, I make only wearable masks that are comfortable to use for all types of performance work. (You can also see some of my work displayed at masks.org.)
