In response I could say "masks are a complex art form, animate with personality. Also, in more depth, that a mask is a humanly expressed metaphor, a concrete guise, which appears in an art testimony of its own theme. Masks are a transformational art, in practice they articulate idea while on the queezy independent line of live expression. In a unique class of actuality, or supernatural entity, a mask might be shaped as symbolically human, animal, abstract in nature, or representational in various descriptive aspects."

Illustrating along this example, Letitia Eldredge has created ideas with masks alluding to personae with "Genevieve", "Mayan Madonna" and "City Father"; external faces representing architecture in "Blue Door" and "1000 Shapes of Theatre"; landscape views like "Jemez Mountain Landscape", "Alma" and "Blue Moon"; then energetic forces such as thought with a "Newcomer" or abstract sound pictured as "Hollar". All are created as spiritual identities and most are particular to Letitia's context when applied in her storytelling and dance·design dramas.

Shown on the following pages are a selection of Letitia Eldredge masks. Also pictured in this archive are the interior images some of these works. Thank you for your visit.
