The Association for Visual Arts and Faces: The National Craniofacial Association partnered last August for a new fundraiser in which local artists indulged their creativity by designing masks that were auctioned to benefit Faces.
AVA member Coyee Shipp Langston said that benefit served as the inspiration for her new series of five masks. They are being unveiled today in “See Through,” her monthlong exhibit at In-Town Gallery.
Langston’s 3-D masks are papier-mache faces about 5 by 7 inches in size. The five masks are attached to larger canvases, and all suggest an Asian influence. In addition to the mask pieces, Langston will be showing several of her abstract works.
“This will be the first time I have displayed these pieces,” said the artist, who is the art teacher at East Ridge Elementary School.
