How does a 5-year-old girl navigate deep loss after a tragic car accident leaves her motherless? Charting a lifelong process of sifting through grief and rediscovering hope, Memoirs of a Mask Maker honors the women who stepped in to help the girl stitch together a beautiful life-a grandmother, a neighbor and a pharmacist in Japan... Years later, when the global pandemic forced Kathryn Graven and everyone else inside, she responded by sewing hundreds of colorful masks for family, friends and complete strangers. She signed each one with a note of encouragement. She discovered that making masks not only called for artistic skills, it tapped all she learned about filling a void and building resilience. Now, as global society faces immeasurable individual and collective grief, these lessons are collected for a new crop of motherless children and those around them. Memoirs of a Mask Maker invites readers to join a new conversation about how we gather our tears and mend the tears. Memoirs of a Mask Maker is one of the most captivating memoirs you'll ever read. From beginning to end, this is a flat-out beautifully written book with characters that pop off the page and scenes that are somehow sweet, funny and haunting all at once. Kathryn Graven has a journalist's eye for just the right detail, description and dialogue. She's able to capture growing up in the Midwest, coming of age in Japan and struggling to make sense of it afterward. You'll read passages aloud to others in the room. It's that good. - Sam Roe, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Memoirs of a Mask Maker is a powerful, moving testament to meeting monumental loss with passion, determination and outsized creativity. In this tour de force memoir, Kathryn Graven delivers a paean to the ability of artistic endeavor to transform grief into beauty. Again and again, she shows how choosing love over despair can transcend cultural differences and ancient wounds, creating healing connections, a matrix within which to build a triumphant, generous life. - Susan Deborah King, poet, author of Coven, One-Breasted Woman, Bog Orchids and Moon Dance How can we travel from overwhelming grief to the first stirrings of a life plan that will work-and then to the long-sought reassurance of being loved, and being able to love again? I've never read a book that's so honest, so revealing, and so inspiring. Share this book with everyone in your life who's survived hard times-or is hoping to get to a better place. Kathryn Graven isn't just a mask maker; she's a teacher, a friend and a healer. - George Anders, Pulitzer Prize honoree, author of You Can Do Anything Kathryn Graven is a writer, mixed-media artist, musician and a lifelong sewer. Fluent in Japanese, she began her journalism career in Tokyo and became a Tokyo correspondent for The Wall Street Journal. Kathryn is a graduate of Stanford and Columbia Universities and was a fellow at the Program on U.S.-Japan Relations at Harvard University. Kathryn studied mixed-media painting and abstract art at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts and the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. She shows her artwork in open studios and participates in solo and group art events. Originally from Minnesota, Kathryn lives with her husband in Boston, and is mother to their two grown sons. During the summer, she lives on Great Cranberry Island, Maine. Passionate about sharing and preserving the bounty of her Maine garden, she makes delicious jams and irresistible pickles.

Profiling 30 mask makers from around the world, this book explores the motivations and challenges of contemporary artists working to bring the traditional methods and conventions of mask making to an evolving global theatre. There are 181 photographs--including two sections of color plates--which illustrate how the mythic iconography of masks is used in the modern fields of dance, mime, theatre and storytelling. Topics include the ways in which mask artists and performers maintain a sense of universality despite varying local customs; the legacies of Italian mask makers Amleto and Donato Sartori and of the California-based Dell'Arte International School of Physical Theatre; and the ways in which traditional approaches in mask artistry continue to influence commercial mask performance ventures in film, on Broadway, and in touring companies.

At sixty-five, artist, writer, and psychologist Sharon Strong doesn’t fit into the cultural stereotype of “senior citizen”—and she has no desire to. Instead, she claims the next decade as the most transformational years of her life. At sixty-six, she erects the first of what will become a series of monumental sculptures on the Black Rock Desert at Burning Man. At sixty-seven, she treks in the Himalayas. At seventy, she meets the love of her life and begins a new life with him. To honor her seventy-fifth year, she delves into an inward journey with psilocybin mushrooms. But life has its own seasons and time. The Great Recession necessitates the closing of Sharon’s gallery. She comes to the end of Burning Man. A wildfire destroys her home and, most devastating of all, completely incinerates her art studio and twenty years’ worth of work. Through it all, Sharon honors her experiences—even the most painful ones—because she knows that each one helps shape who she is. Ultimately, Burning Woman is a passionate love story about the adventure of aging that will inspire readers to feel their strength and commit to living their lives to the fullest and with a sense of pride and purpose.

This work examines the Mask from its many contexts, placing an emphasis on the Mask's exclusiveness to that which is human. There is also a large section on the archetypal which has as its foundation and contribution a perspective of evolutionary psychology which is of a scientific approach to something persisting in cognition."For our own part, whatever is scientific in us is satisfied with the labeling of the Scarecrow as false and the license to treat it as so. However, a remaining part of us is compelled to treat the Scarecrow exactly as its initial fabrication intended." "The groups totem, represented by an animal or plant and further represented by a mask comes then to represent the supernatural as what is done to it becomes luck, fate, mana, curse, defilement or blessing.""There are injuries to the nervous system that result in the incapacity for the recognizing of old or the storing of new faces. Whatever underestimation of the face's importance is swiftly renounced as relationships cannot be cultured where one fails to identify the other.""There is not a linear relationship between primitive man's realization of the use of the Mask and the later triumph of a civilization. In the sense that a civilization is the binding of man, the Mask has an effectiveness of conducting the collective gaze and holding attentions. The mentality of the people dispersing from a Masquerade is better joined and as these people might reflect in the ensuing days, they are proclaimed a single fabric by which to do so. Should things be so manageable, social occurrences, within a group which shares a theatre, are not unrelated to this theatre and it is as though its language is socially elevated beyond anything that might come from a single person's lips in officiality."
