Created: 2015
Triangle masks are known until the era of the Dionysian and the Greek drama. This mask smiles very friendly like the most figures of Jolly Daubs. It is a fantasy figure with a semicircular head and an extremely long neck. The ends of the fire red ears are bended, the eyes wide open, the brows surprised curved. Is it a dog or rather a pony? But the artist follows up an other intention. She mirrored the mask head-first and painted her twins with the complementary colours black and white. An extraordinary playing card was ready. Let´s ask now a philosophical question: Presents the artist with this mask her own imagination of a “Joker”: The fool, which is put into every playing-card? Surely, she picked up her favourite topic of the Commedia dell´arte.
