Rhinoceros
Ten masks were created for the October 2012 production of Ionesco’s Rhinoceros, directed by Marianne Kubik at the University of Virginia’s Helms Theater. Designed and built by Jason Randolph. The story of the object is a chemical reaction that happens between heated acrylic paint and polypropelene plastic. The paint not only bonds chemically to the plastic but during the process is stretched to give an organic texture and pattern.
