Head & Shoulders

Anderson is a multimedia artist. Since 1987, he has been using CelluClay®, a form of papier-mâché, to create whimsical masks. The material is used to cover armatures constructed from found objects. He says he “fell in love” with the medium and continues to use it to this day. Anderson’s current paintings utilize an intuitive abstract approach that was always incorporated in his sculpted masks, echoing his passage from realism to the abstract. “The shift has been transformative, freeing me from the limitations of portraiture, and allowing my creative impulses to flourish unrestrained.”
