In the Spring of 2003 I was able to make digital prints of about twenty of these masks. Each print is 44" square. The pictures here are not necessarily those I printed.

The world wide web has provided exhibitionists with their ideal medium: cheap, easy, and with global distribution. Many display themselves totally, but others are shy pornographers, reticent about revealing their true identities, their faces. These last go to imaginative lengths to create masks from the minimal to the baroque. These masks - I show only a few of the hundreds I've collected - constitute a nearly extinct sub-genre of folk art. The "true" exhibitionists have prevaled in their insistence that faces are as strong an erotic component as other body parts and should be displayed. It has become difficult for exhibitionists to preserve their anonymity! In the Spring of 2003 I was able to make digital prints of about twenty of these masks. Each print is 44" square. The pictures here are not necessarily those I printed. |
