Artist's Statement: What is Valmortha? "Originally a place name, a world created through years of storytelling, I like to think of Valmortha as the Unknown Universe Just Left of the Imagination - A home for creatures, spirits and personalities we dare to dream but jealously guard from the mundane. As mischievous children, dreams sometimes venture forth from their protected home, becoming inspiration. Such is the impetus behind my craft." "By serendipitous choice, the leather medium proved a true complement to the often demanding and impatient wanderings of my inspirations. Malleable only if properly coaxed, it hints at and suggests the transformation to come, granting me some tiny illusion of control. Being both durable and flexible, the leather encourages you to play with the art. Don't just hang it on the wall. Wear it, dance with it, take it camping!"

Elemental Inspirations is a small arts studio in Ellicott City, Maryland, just outside of Baltimore. We have been chiefly inspired by the native american culture, but also draw our motivation from renaissance, mythological and contemporary styles to create our unique designs. Each item is hand made and is one of a kind. Styles can be mimicked, but for the most part, never exactly duplicated. Following the native american ways, we mostly attend pow wows in our area. Our major media for our art is in leather and jewelry, but we are able to work with just about anything given time. We also support other local artists, so a few of the items on this site are consignment pieces.

Masks are tools which enable us to visualize reality in the spirit of our imaginative natures, allowing us to transform our inner and outer selves according to our vision. In truth we all wear masks, living ones. Some of us hide behind them, others judge them according to what is chiseled in their stone, some of us use them as vehicles of expression to win friends and influence people, some few of us wear them openly, unafraid of their shape-shifting powers which freely show inmost emotions and feelings through ever changing gestures upon its surface. Therein is the use of Theatre and its Mask traditions. A skilled actor can create never before seen moments with such a tool. We are told to emulate the actor in our daily lives, we being the passing character upon the stage of life. Thus life itself could be viewed as ART and all of Creation being a Mask upon the face of EMPTINESS. Should any who practice this ART need a Mask, only ask.

Carlo Remi was born in the administrative area of San Miniato, and still lives there, working in the tanning industry. In the early 1970s, he became deeply involved in amateur photography, joining a photographic club which he still attends. He has taken part in photographic competitions at national level and displayed his work in collective exhibitions as well as a personal exhibition entitled "Conciapelli", receiving considerable recognition. This art of creating images through a lens led him to take up another type of visual expression: he was able to create a face and an expression from a piece of material, in this case leather. The examples illustrated here are entirely hand-made, shaped with craftman's tools and finished with natural products. They can be recognised as animal-like faces inspired by imagination, masks with expressions of suffering and sorrow, which have always held a place of particular fascination in the history of man.

I am Shining Eagle, of the Northern Ioway Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska. I create sculptured leather masks. A cast is taken of the face, and a leather mask is created from this form. The reflection seen in the finished mask is the spirit of the Native American People. The leather masks were first created by CrowWolf, a Cree artist of many talents. Previously known as Soaring Eagle. At the moment, I am working on a series of masks,"The Ioway Peoples" As they are finished, I will add them to this site. They are casts of tribal members, and are a first!!

Of Inca and Cherokee decent, Gregorio represents himself in his art as "the Indian of the Americas." His work, in part, derives from an artistic journey told through the voices of ancient civilizations. "I hear through the ages with my designs; I vitalize them with my colors." Gregorio's art also derives from the eyes of contemporary humanity. "In a language of color, shape, form, and symbolism, my deepest secrets and most passionate feelings are exposed through my paintings as if they were my diary."

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.
