“What are your feelings about Peace Or War?”
Over 100 people came together in a community art project in Deborah LeSueur's clay studio to express just that- feelings about Peace Or War.
Plastering the face to make a mold, the clay is put in the negative space to create a mask.
Leaving at least the eyes open so one can look thru the masks and see thru the eyes of someone else, their faces making a statement.
The Mask
With contributions from people with diverse backgrounds, ages & experiences, this piece as a whole creates a personal emotive conversation.
Art being culture and a powerful influencer of change, this piece combines faces & perspectives to create something more impactful than the individual.
There are many kinds of walls. Walls to separate, to divide, to enclose, to protect, to support. Walls to keep people in, walls to keep people out. Personal walls; political walls. But here are two walls and an opening- an invitation to come inside where we lend you our faces to see through our eyes for a moment.
