Asia Pacific Region Masks

Masks adorned the walls in the lounge at the East West Center Gallery. They looked like a representation of different parts of the Pacific. I loved the colors. There were more masks than I have here, but I didn't want to disturb a girl who was studying there.

nice pictures ;-) there are lots of places on campus that are photo-worthy; of course, that little garden behind the EW center's pretty nice, too; the art gallery in the art building is a terrific place where they seem to change stuff on a monthly basis; in fact, if they haven't changed to something else, the gallery now has some dolls on display...

Very cool! I wish I took more pictures of the masks. There were too many tables and chairs for my tripod. Nice shooting!

Rand, I've been there before taking pictures around the campus. Didn't know the art building had a gallery.

Erick, I did feel small-kine like I was disturbing the peace in there.

Thanks Betty!

Beautiful! I like Chinese mask. Very colorful. Nohmen (Japanese one) is very sophisticated but always scares me.
