  1. Masks Common material and unique artistic styles

  2. JozefMrva Prague, Czech Republic Nietzsche-influenced free-thinker, artist, JozefMrva has created a series of animal masks made from readily available cardboard. Mrva himself describes his process for creating the masks, "I consider these masks as experiments with identity, especially in a rituallistic way. Animal masks resemble skulls or remains or abominations, they bear shamanic, Dionysian symbolism, the form, material and overall execution is primitive, harsh and expressionistic. They are made to inspire the inner forces of man and allow behavioral self-expression through identity alternation. "

  5. “I’ve learned from [this] particular series/project to observe the texture of the hair, or the horn, to study patterns in nature. How you manipulate paper to achieve what you see makes it your own. The layering of white paper in particular creates shadows and that creates the perception of depth. Again, take note of the direction of fur and know that sometimes to achieve the effect you must layer the paper. The differences in texture and pattern in nature is fascinating!” --Amy Flurry
