“Louder Than Words” Mask
Availability: Only 1 available
Alder wood, Acrylic paint
“It is New Year’s Day, and Dad mentions seeing a fallen alder tree in the woods by his studio. We hike down to it, about a hundred and fifty steps or so, and cut it into a few pieces with a chainsaw. It is raining pretty hard for added dramatic effect.
We load a few pieces onto a dolly and take turns pulling/pushing the two-hundred-pound load back up the stairs we had come down. This takes an hour. For the second dolly load, we decide to go down the stairs and just push the dolly for a few kilometers on a hilly trail instead.
I had initially intended something quite different for this mask, and I used that idea as a starting point. Part of the process for me these days is allowing for new directions to present themselves, and getting comfortable with letting go and pursuing them. The feathers at this person’s mouth suggest a power of speech. I have been thinking lately that there is more to what we hear and say than the words themselves. There is a feeling, intent, and vibrational energy as well. The feathers here may provide a way to transcend our physiological boundaries and amplify the message further.” – Kyran Yeomans

Gagiid Mask
Reg Davidson
CA$14,500.00Red Cedar wood, Yellow Cedar wood, Acrylic paint, Horse hair
Gagiid is a wild, otherworldly creature who has been transformed through a traumatic maritime experience. Some believe that he can be found lurking on the forest edge and near streams, collecting the souls of the drowned and trying to persuade unwitting humans to eat his ghostly food, causing them to become otherworldly like him. However, it is not all doom and gloom – as with any transformation, it is possible for Gagiid to be tamed and re-enter the human world again.

“Sunrise” Cast Mask
Kyran Yeomans
CA$15,000.00Bronze Cast
Edition of 12
24 x 24 x 10″ (mask only)
28.5 x 26 x 15.5″ (including base)
“It seems, at times, the material will give direction to what will come. This was the case for this piece. As it became clearer that it was to become a sun figure, the idea of it being a companion for a moon piece I had done many years previously excited me. The timing possesses a feeling of cosmic intention to it, a cyclical weight.
Arriving after ten years of darkness, the sun appears, bringing with it a new season. Life awakening after hibernation, new green finding its way into being, spring. Illumination. Newness. Difference. Balance. Growth, in all its awkwardness and vulnerability. Foreshadowing.
I [wrote] these words in the summer of 2021, after welcoming my son into this world a few weeks ago. I look back and see this piece giving me a big empyrean wink. May it warm and light your space and voyage through these three dimensions (…and beyond).” – Kyran Yeomans
