MoCA Masks 2009

This weekend I am beginning the ideation phase of the now-annual ritual: preparing for the Museum of Conteporary Art’s annual Masks at MoCA fundraiser.

Each year the mask form takes on a new shape. This year’s mask seems to come from a island culture: a bit of indigenous broad-nose African influence with a hint of Oompa Loompa. I think it is the best one yet.

I’m leaning toward a pedestal-mounted Escher-esque "wrapped ribbon” concept executed in a beautiful piece of Honeycomb Calcite marble I acquired three years back.
