Description: A series of African-style clay masks created by Theuerkauf students was the inspiration for this piece. Gould, Rogers and teachers from CSMA worked with the kids to create self-portraits out of high-fired clay specified for the exterior site. The masks, rich in texture and character, are placed in a seven-foot framework of concentric circles and expanded metal. Installed at the entrance of the administration building.
A Thousand Faces: Mask Mandala symbolizes the continuum of students that attend over the years
