black and white mask

BLACK / WHITE STRIPE MASK

This mask was made with a really nice technique, called " sgrafitto ". While the clay is still raw or soft; a layer of black engobe was brushed on. The lines are cut through the blacck. The clay body fires to white. So, you end up with a black mask with three dimentional, cut, white lines. Symboliclicly, to me, this mask represents the repetitious chores life confronts each of us with; the unavoidable and inevitable. What would those things be for you ? There is another sgrafitto mask check out the other black and white decorative
