A few years ago, at an auction sale, I bought a collection of, what I think are, African masks and carvings. They fascinated me although I knew (and still know) nothing of their true ethnic origins. They were bought purely for their decorative properties. It seemed a good idea at the time but I have never found a use for them, nor was I able to raise any interest on ebay! Perhaps their hour has come!
The average height of the originals is around 30cm. Because they are individual items I have ‘created’ backgrounds that I feel to be appropriate and have occasionally adjusted saturation and contrast levels to make details a little more clear. It is my intention to post the resulting images in small groups under the heading Faces from Africa. This post comprises the first selection.
