MISTO - SEMINARA MASKS

MISTO invites itself into your interior to ward off spells, evil spirits and evil influences.
Sophie Dries reinvents the traditional Calabrian mask with her contemporary graphic
lines. Her mask with a frozen expression is an imperturbable face, with scratched relief motifs that represent the ancient cultural crossroads of Calabria.
The color of the enamel is sunk in the wake of clay depicting the Calabrian paths, and
thus revealing an unexpected and random complexity.
The unpredictable glazing process involves both the artisanal hand and the creativity of the designer; animating each figure as unique as each individual.
