XAHC u святой Николай
(Hans and Saint Nicholas)
4 November 2012 SketchesI managed to make a panel from the wolmanized wood, and this is to become the icon board.
The icon on the postcard is called Saint Nicolas of the Door
He is supposed to be the patron of domestic bliss
XAHC would be the cyrillic transcription of my given name, matching the average Russian pronunciation of it.

Raw material
Very ugly wolmanized wood
Wolmanized wood.
Poisonous green with deathly black and yet -
there is that fleshy pink vein of Life shining through.
Not easy to work with, but not without potential
Wolmanized wood.
Poisonous green with deathly black and yet -
there is that fleshy pink vein of Life shining through.

Le masque cache autant qu’il révèle, « nie autant qu’il affirme » selon la formulation de Claude Lévi-Strauss. Bien souvent détenteur d’un secret, il tait, en effet, ce que seuls les initiés doivent savoir.
Son pouvoir relève aussi de sa capacité à incarner un esprit, lien entre l’homme et les ancêtres, le monde visible et celui de l’invisible. Il est inséparable d’un contexte mythique qui structure le mode d’existence et de pensée de la plupart des sociétés traditionnelles.
Au cœur de la vie d’un groupe ou d’une communauté, le masque, intercesseur indispensable, est toujours actif.
