Jabula Mirror Masks

Imbued with images of her African childhood, Ann Raabe grew up enraptured by the power of the mask. Eliciting deep and provocative stirrings, masks are archetypes of human existence, offering a synergy of power and beauty that pique the recesses of our deepest desires, yearnings and fears.

Hand-selected while on her African sojourns, Jabula masks inspire Ann to create an aura of fractured mirror, glass, beads and stones as their definition and container. They illuminate a room and ignite the soul in a Pandora's paradox of:

- primitive and modern;
- abstract and tangible;
- dark and light.

They are quite simply, timeless.
