Transformation Mask
 | Masks have always fascinated me but transformation masks of the NW Coast Natives are the ultimate expression of creativity. These masks display a complex understanding of articulation and are extremely functional when viewed in a dance and drama performance. The outside figure of this type of mask will open and transform into a totally different creature on the inside. |  |
