Carving of the wood matrix for ‘Capitano’Mask complete.

Waiting for time to do the next stage of the process, casting with leather.

Some experiments with small scale carving and casting in veg-tanned leather.                 Bas-relief carving and Intaglio.         Next I shall try out various finishes. Learning by doing.

     A detail of this work that I made in 2006

The Full LeatherHead           

My Lion Mask is now on it’s way to a new home.                                                                                        To Accra in Ghana,  to be with Jacob Tetteh-Ashong who wears it so well.

The story is told in the documentary film, ‘Paa Joe and the Lion’                                                      Directed by Benjamin Wigley, Produced by Anna Griffin both of ‘www.artdocs.org’.
