    ICONS MASK

    Decorative Art Mask. Can be worn but is more ornamental. Fabric, elastic thread, watercolor and ink on heavy weight paper.

    7″ x 5″

    “I appreciated the unique challenge offered by Libby and JoAnne at Mobilia Gallery to create an “ornamented” mask, perhaps the most prominent pieces of adornment we will be wearing in the near future. I am currently separated from my metals working studios, so took this challenge on with the materials I had at hand. I have created abstract pages of watercolors, then stencilled on the “Icon” shapes I have been exploring in my jewellery work for a number of years. These shapes are cut-out, sealed with varnish, and stitched onto a mask in an accumulated shingle/fish scale style. I have seen accumulations of Milagros, ex- votos, reliquary symbols in my travels and readings and have loved their ability to signify and protect. So much is still unknown about our current malady, and perhaps my mask, reinforced by icons can serve as protection or a harbinger of colorful joy. And hopefully not be as foolhardy at the medieval pomander proved to be.” -Rebecca Hannon *Although this mask is wearable, it is more of an art project than everyday wear. **Edition of 2: Masks are one of a kind and will vary. $450.
