‘The Garden of Unearthly Delights’
Photography Timothy Saccenti
Mask Design Commonwealth
“A commission to design two masks came to us via director and photographer Timothy Saccenti’s latest project, ‘The Garden of Unearthly Delights’. In it, two figures convey a story of darkness, impossibility, fertility, and of course, a final moment of delivery.
Looking for a discord between the natural and synthetic, we designed two masks that could receive horse hairs within the face of the photoresin shells. The result is a meeting of the exact and the hairy, and the natural and near-figure. This uncanny material relationship has inspired new ideas at Commonwealth- ones which attempt to embed dense material relationships within future furniture design projects.”
We all knew at some point in time this great collaboration would make it onto SeptemberIndustry. :)
