Masks of Belonging WIP

By Cassy Oliphant 2026

Current work in progress, experimenting with ceramic masks narrating my own experiences, connecting with bronze shamanic pieces found in burial sites in China. Reflecting on the many ways I’ve been masking: dual heritage, ADHD and the ways I’ve learnt to fit in as a neurodivergent woman.
