‘Sympathy for our Devils is an exploration of the conscious and unconscious representations of masks in our society and culture. Masks transcend our conceptual limitations and boundaries and deliver us from societies trappings.
Masks have for eons allowed people to protect themselves, disguise themselves and free themselves. Masks told stories, created magic, and turned myth into reality. Placing a mask over ones face allows for an exchange of power between the mask and the wearer. Masks are the conduit through which the artists message flows.’
