The “Chef du village - Newspaper” mask can be worn but also used as a decoration to hang or display on a flat surface.
The name is “Chef du village - Newspaper” (Head of the village - newspaper) because the design of a mask for a village head is left stripped of colors, except for the black which highlights the nose, lips, eyes and essential expressive lines.
The mask was created through a meticulous technique:
- Clay sculpture
- Clay mold (plaster casting)
- Clay extraction and mold finishing
- Laying of paper and gauze
- Post production (gluing, cutting of eyeholes, coloring)
The materials used are: glass mastic, alabaster plaster, newspaper, vaseline (to maintain the mold), vinyl glue, sandpaper, brushes, cans of acrylic color, beeswax.
