NOVICA ARTIST "I came into contact with bamboo and its varied techniques thanks to my teacher, Ripper, when I was studying Industrial Design at Rio de Janeiro's Pontifнcia Universidade Catуlica. Bamboo is an ideal material, all its fibers are longitudinal which enables the hand-crafting of resistant pieces. Whereas wood takes up to 60 years before it can be used, bamboo grows in six years and from every stalked removed, two more sprout. Its is an abundant prime material, renewable, that does not promote floor erosion. "

Hanging from a wall in my grade seven art teacher's classroom, was a mask woven with Jute. As soon I saw it, I had to learn how to make it. After a little coaxing, Mr. Stumm agreed to show me how to weave my first mask. And so began my love affair with masks. For the past 10 years, I have been experimenting with and producing both woven and papier mach? masks. What started out as a hobby, has now become the focus of my life. However, like many crafters, I need a day job to sustain my existence. This means I can't spend as much time as I'd like experimenting and perfecting my craft. However, if I am able to share what I have accomplished with people who love masks, I will be a satisfied artist.

Silver jewelry interpretations of masks from different cultures Says Jessica : "I was always been fascinated by masks, even as a child. I've traveled and seen a lot, studied native images. I have a special feeling for how to transpose these images into jewelry. I believe in staying on my own path, even if it is different. I see concepts in nature and the arts and transform them into wearable art. Inspired by the area she lives in, Jessica created the "Wine Designs" series, made especially for wine lovers.

Artist Jeffrey Zigulis began his Dream Masks series as presents for schoolmates of his four-year-old son, Matthew. Zigulis told the children that the masks could help scare away bad dreams. One little boy is careful to see that his baby brother has his mask nearby whenever he?s sleeping. Something about the masks--which were inspired by African, Mexican, and Micronesia masks- resonates for most people who see them, so Zigulis began making groups of masks and showing them with his other ceramic work. With each group he makes, the series changes: some groups are whimsical, other are dramatic and powerful. Over the past few years, Zigulis has dedicated all of his studio time to the creation of masks. Each clay mask is scraped, carved and burnished before it is painted with acrylics and accented with colored-wire hair. The color combinations used are influenced by Joseph Albers? Color Theories. The evolution of the colors Zigulis uses are inspired by snorkeling trips to Molokai, and an interest in the colors and patterns that appear on the wings of butterflies and moths. Acrylics and pearlized airbrush paints are used as stains and solid colors that create depth and accent the texture of the fired clay. Best known for his Black Raku pots with bamboo and for his Dancing Man series, Zigulis characteristically moves traditional forms and methods in new directions, to produce styles that are uniquely his own. Zigulis has been very involved in projects with the art community, locally and nationally. Sold through many fine galleries and juried craft shows, his ceramics can be found in MUSEUMS, CORPORATIONS, PRIVATE COLLECTIONS AROUND THE WORLD. 10-D 22" $340 SOLD Something about the masks--which were inspired by African, Mexican, and Micronesia masks- resonates for most people who see them, so Zigulis began making groups of masks and showing them with his other ceramic work.

NOVICA ARTIST Jaime Zapata Espinoza, born in Lima in 1953, is dedicated to a very interesting craft-- creating masks inspired by his profound Peruvian roots. Made with loving patience, each mask is unique and can express every feeling in the human heart, from happiness to deep sorrow. "I'm an architect, but since I was young I've dedicated a part of my time to the handcrafting of masks. The objective of my work is to transmit human emotions in seemingly animated objects. I use recycled paper and textiles, cans, and some vegetal elements like rushes. Colors are given with natural oxides and earths. For decorating my pieces I also use hand-woven elements with Inca motifs. Each mask is cast with milled paper, dried and finished by hand in elaborating the particular characteristics of a human face in a specific expression. Each piece is unique, and some of them have an aged appearance achieved with a layer of patina. Some masks have rushes and tresses made of fiber ropes. The final step is a layer of lacquer for protecting the pigments.

NOVICA ARTIST "Hello, I am Ismael Diaz. I was born in Mexico City and when I was very young we came to live in Tonala. At seven years of age I began to work with a man who made serving dishes, and there I emptied the kaolin for the sets. From there I went to work in a ceramic dish factory where they taught me to mold and paint. When I got married, I began to work ceramics with my wife on the ranch, and now one of our children has begun to help us. In my family, we are all dedicated to handicrafts; my father worked with clay and he taught me much more than I learned in the jobs that I had. "First I collect the clay nearby and I begin to knead it. I place it in molds that I made from plaster and allow it to dry for two or three days. At that point I fire the piece and later paint it, executing an oxidized finish with paints for cement and several earthen baths to achieve that rugged finish. We need about one week to finish a lot of thirty masks.
