Thanks for the observation. I don’t know how it happened, but I now know what happened. It’s fixed. Take another look; you may need to clear your browser’s cache. Was your guess right?
Viewing the masks as abstract shapes, I immediately think of that richness found in Japanese art, where patterns juxtapose harmoniously – a real feat in my mind, i.e., taking unrelated pattern and puzzling it together in a subtle balance between great simplicity / great complexity. I often see this wonderfully realized in your handmade books, too. The white mask with text also reminds me of how calligraphy is used in Japanese and Chinese scrolls. I can’t read the calligraphy, but I always appreciate the “text”ure it brings – and in your case, I could certainly read that text, but prefer to just see it as another mask pattern. If someone were looking for “the” still life for 2020, this would fit the bill.
They look so peaceful and unimportant but we know they have importance. Nice statement of how things are changing.
such a satisfying image to look at. Everything peaceful, in order and ready to go.
Who did this? I can guess, but it would be good if the artist’s name was on this.
