The Woman Behind the Mask By Kerry Logan
How I came to make paper-mâché masks is like most things in my life – sideways with a Jane- of-all -trades or Renaissance woman attitude. After years of college and exciting and challenging careers, I settled down and made a home with my two children. The first papier-mâché project I made was a cheetah mask because that was what my daughter adored at the time. And then a Hello Kitty piñata. And that was the start. The projects grew each year: A Muppet animal pinata for my son, Totoro pinata, Croods egg, a baseball piñata, death star piñata, etc. Just a few months ago, it was masquerade masks for my daughter’s 16th birthday. a Three years ago, the artistic director of our local ballet company asked if I could make a stage prop for the Spring Ballet Showcase – a large white papier-mâché tree. I was excited! With my dad’s help on the structural design, I made that magic happen! Death Star Pinata The following winter, the same Artistic Director asked if I would help build some props but also help stage manage as well for a mini production of Alice in Wonderland. Knowing the other families involved, and loving how building for a show felt; the team work, and seeing the kids shine all the more, I said sure! And, this is Alice - with the pool of tears, and the rabbit hole, and the doors? It was certainly lined up to be a challenge and it was! Spring Ballet Showcase Photo Courtesy of Big Fish Media 37
