louvain95 – Farther than the eye can reach.

This site is all about visual arts…I am a 67 year old woman from Namur, Belgium. Peace and harmony are my favourite words and I try to ensure them between people, between things . We brought up our now adult children along a river and discovered that a large stream creates a sense of community between neighbours – chatting on towpaths, you know ;-) The river is a little miracle of changing beauty every morning and I love it, despite the ( rare ) flooding alerts.

African Mask.

Posted on May 13, 2011 by louvain95

Found on the site: African Art Gallery L’oeil et la main, Paris.

Fang mask, Gabon, 19th century. The Ngil Society used to wear this type of mask when going to the villages for administrating violent “justice”.

Mask as symbol.

Wood, kaolin.
