I started making masks when I began thinking about taking casts of some of the statues in Weimar. The more I looked at the statues, the more interested I became in the variety of copies and alternative representations of the same figures. | |||
Traditions of Death Masks, and Life Masks, were a source of thinking and inspiration. Particularly the [http://biblioklept.org/2010/10/17/goethes-death-mask/ Death Mask of JW v Goethe]. I suppose my interest here, was in a blurred notion of something being present; a physical anchor of something vivid but also intangible. A trace or imprint. | |||
I began making masks from statuettes I could buy in tourist shops, thinking of them as being somewhere between object and assosiation. Perhaps somewhere between life and death, or better, between materiality and immateriality. | |||
