Mask Makers Web

Lorra Lee Rose, from the Olympic Rain Forest in Washington state, is a modern day mask maker. Her creations, combining an array of exotic, moulted feathers, are stunning works of art. She chooses feathers selected for visual quality and places them one at a time, creating each design with its own distinct personality. Her appreciation for the beauty inherent in nature is obvious. These masks are decorative wall pieces and are wearable as well.

My interest in masks began when I was quite young and just becoming interested in cultures other than my own. As an adult, international studies and travels to Africa and the South Pacific connected me to the mask as a unique tribal totem and cemented my fascination with their often primitive nature. With my own masks, I try to replicate that tone, through the use of organic materials, recycled and found objects, plant fibers and horse hair.

Elkhana Masks designs and creates original masks for artistic, dramatic and ritual purposes. Some of the masks are wearable, some are meant only to be viewed. They are usually made from papier mache, clay, or plaster, then painted and adorned with a variety of decorations. Below are examples of my masks. If you are interested in buying one (only some are for sale), or having one custom made, email me with your ideas.

Sometimes called 'Haitian ironwork', or 'Haitian metal cut-outs', these pieces are great additions as accents in ethnic interior design schemes, especially those with an African, or Caribbean theme.

A degree in Textiles and Design in Rhode Island has taken many turns and paths -- fashion writing for a national magazine in NYC, clothing designing in San Francisco Bay Area, furniture design and interiors in Western Canada, house murals in Nova Scotia and Toronto, and theatre work on both sides of the border. Now a resident of The Beaches, mask-making is my focus. The masks are plaster gauze base, built with clay, painted and urethaned. They are meant for wall display and interior art as well as to be worn in play. One needs not to go to Carnival or Mardi Gras, to Venezia, Rio, or New Orleans to don a mask and frolic and provoke!

" "Swaps" are a wonderful way to build a collection. Artists create a number of pieces which are mailed to the organizer--known as the "Swapmeister". Each artist's pieces are distributed among the participants, so that while you send in the required number of items of your own making, you get back one from each participant--and they in turn get one of yours. So, with a group of ten artists, each will end up with one of their own items, and nine other pieces........."
