UNMASKED
Sally Blyth, Destinations Magazine, Dec 2015
Masks can disguise and deceive, charm and captivate, entertain and entice. What makes masks so enigmatic? Is it the element of disguise and intrigue, or a connotation of other-worldliness? Perhaps it is their alignment with ritual and deep tradition. In any case, there is no doubt that with their ability to enable coquetry along with a sense of anonymity, masks facilitate the chance to escape, to take on another persona.
NB: Sally created masks, mainly Masquerade style, for more than 20 years for clients all around the world. Much research was undertaken on various visits to Venice!
