MASKS by Katharine Clark Gray

The following is a brief smattering of my work as a theatrical maskmaker. You are welcome to ask me more about these....

1. CLEOPATRA (half mask)
Materials: Papier mache, acrylic, fabric, wire, tea

Cleopatra was my very first mask, designed for the Shakespearean rendition of the character. She began a long series of character masks, whose purpose is to aid the actor in accessing a wider and deeper range of expression in performance. She is still one of my favorites.
