Putting on a face


I am totally enchanted with masks in clay. Preparing masks for the exhibition uncovered more thought about layers of consciousness, identity questions, social habits and lots more. Art as therapy? No, but questions do surface.
Covering up, putting on a front, disclosing some but not all - how aware are we of the masks we use ?
A tray of masks - during my work process:
to keep at the door, along with your car keys or in your drawer ? So choose what you want to wear today.
The Masks exhibition is opening on the 4th of September at the Gan Shmuel Gallery, curated by Dorit Talmon.
