Inspired by the vast legacy of the Mexican mask tradition, it has been my intention to create a new type of mask to suit the sensibility of modern man and to reintegrate its use in society as a vital means of cultural and artistic expression. By blending figurative realism with natural elements, a new image is gestated which is simultaneously human and animal. This new mask strips away our civilized veneer in order to stress our instinctual impulses. A symbolic link is established between man and nature which echoes a primal message of man's dependency on animals and a cosmic order. The furs and horns can be likened to the NAGUAL (an Aztec tem used to describe the Guardian Spirit of Man), while emphasizing his animal characteristic and nature. Thus the term NAGUAL MASK is used to describe this modern style of mask.
