PRESENTING CONRAD
CLAY MASKS
ABOVE :Sorrowful blue mask on Conrad's face AT RIGHT : Someone greedy beside the Holy Mother. |  Conrad's masks are sublime, like hot shrieks and strange deep deep sea dwellers. They look as if one might meet them whilst out wearing a snorkel... One knows these masks as hidden aspects of the self - the parts one experiences under the covers. - Miro |
MASKS INHABITING CONRAD'S KITCHEN
Earthenware clay masks by Conrad, fired at about 1050 - 1100F. Ball clay & oxides applied as paint while clay is leather-hard, before firing. The coral-like surface of some of the masks is made meticulously & meditatively by the artist using a sharp, needle-like tool, one hole at a time - a million deaths, a million lives. Masks of coral.
