Book of Singing Masks

The Book of Singing Masks documents with interactive images 17 of Norman Lowrey’s Singing Masks. He is the originator of masks which are playable as instruments. They are made of ceramics, wood, and leather, with each having a “voice” incorporating flutes, reeds, ratchets and other sounding devices. They have been exhibited in East Coast galleries and museums, including the New Jersey State Museum. And they have been used in ceremony/performances in such diverse locations as Plan B and Site Santa Fe in Santa Fe, New Mexico,  Roulette and Lincoln Center in New York City, the Deep Listening Space in Kingston, New York, and the site of pictograph caves outside Billings, Montana.
