IANVS / yellow

Meet the little brother of IANVS the grumpy jar!
 
After creating this double faced mask we found that the Romans had a god called IANVS, that stood for beginnings & endings, and had two faces. How cool is that?! It’s something that really resonates with the kind of work we produce!
 
Many of the pieces I make eventually end up in my own personal collection. To be able to share them with you, I’ve decided to create an exclusive limited edition of twelve pieces for each work I keep in my home.
 
Like every piece that passes through my hands, each one is entirely handmade in my atelier in Ghent. The hand-drawn crayon pattern differs slightly from piece to piece, giving every artwork its own subtle uniqueness.

The origins of a mask can be traced back thousands of years. Often surrounded by rituals or social gatherings. What do I show to the world, or better to the people around me? Do I show my most inner self or do I hide behind a ‘mask’?
