"Sharp is the Action" Mask Sculpture by Dave Root, High-Fire Stoneware, Signed
About the Item
From a series of masks and heads, "Sharp is the Action" is a tabletop sculpture inspired by the masks and heads made throughout Oceania. Landing in the nebulous zone between ceremony and mar?al inspira?on like the masks that inspired it, this piece is an armor to the world around it with the aggressive texture and warring front face. Simultaneously it displays surprise from the humanity around by a slight shi! in visage. Something of a playful complacency in a suggested face is looking back at it all with the decora?on on the rear. Made from a heavily grogged high-fire stoneware, the construc?on of this sculpture is wheel-thrown and altered, fired in a cone 10 reduction.

Angola Chokwe Mask Revisited by Bomber Bax
Located in Milano, IT
Beautiful classic Chokwe mask genre that honours female founding ancestors. Such representations are particularly significant as the Chokwe trace the descent through the lines of their mothers. This is thought to be a dance mask with a net and wood hairstyle, from the Batshokwe people skilled in the art of carving and of very ancient origin belonging to the culture of the divine monarchy.
The Batshokwe sculptors were the most famous in the region, masters in geometric decorations such as the depiction of scarifications and tooth deformations, the surfaces of their works were carefully smoothed and polished.
On the forehead of the mask, the classic chinge-lyengelye scarification is clearly visible, commonly interpreted as a variant of the Portuguese cross...
