Parrot Face and Ball Child.
These are my two masks made in the spirit of the Naive or Laval Mask.
The Neutral/Naive mask brings a childlike playfulness into the rehearsal room and performance space. They are capable of expressing a depth of emotion as exemplified by some of the early works by Trestle Theatre Company (Creche) and the Moving Picture Mime Show (The Examination).
Paper Mask of Pulcinella. The Italian Great Grandfather of Mr. Punch
Looking at Designs to print onto fabric.
Clay Design in the process
Pulcinella
Today, I have started to design a new Pulcinella mask. I am moving the mask away from Mr.Punch, which I made a few years ago, in order to return to the Neapolitan Polichinello.
More of the Chicken yet still with a bit of the joyous sado-masochist. A terrible hideously brutal honesty and raw sense of inevitable justice, even against his-self.
And yes, your bum does look enormous with the ‘bum-role’ in place.
Thank you Becky Matter for modelling.
