DESCRIPTION
Numina was the name the Romans gave to the numinous intelligences felt in nature. The Numina were later personified as the Gods and Goddesses. My masks are for communities to use to "give voice" through dance and storytelling to those forces.

“NUMINA” Masks for the Elements
By Lauren Raine
Numina:
"An indwelling intelligence or power felt in a particular place, or in the whole world......
The origins of the Roman gods may be the sense of numinous presences underlying all the processes of the natural world."
Making a mask is finding a face for what is vast, hidden, elemental or invisible…..
Creating Story is giving it a voice
Spider Woman passed on this creative power
to all of Her Relations.
Each time a mask is worn by a new person a new story is discovered…..
"When you create within a sacred paradigm you find you are communicating with what is within you - but also has a greater source somewhere else.
You collaborate with something timeless.”
Elizabeth Fuller, ActressTHE INDEPENDENT EYE
