Isidro Ferrer Masks

If I had more time with this project, masks would be something I would be really interesting in delving into. A storytelling / persona changing device. Ritualistic / traditional / practical item / disguise / form of expression etc.

I'm fascinated by Isidro Ferrer's process and work. He's a creative whos constantly evolving and absorbing new things, always mixing 2D and 3D, hungry for new ways to form his ideas.

I've seen photos of these masks he's made floating around on Pinterest for a while - but its very difficult to find any context or information about them or if theres a project they're connected to? I guess that makes the idea of hiding even more mysterious.












I follow a really interesting Instagram page called False Face - link
Who showcase masks from various countries / purposes / styles. "hidden face anthropology"
The man who runs the account is a practicing mask maker so I guess this instagram page acts like a running research document.
