This piece is scheduled to be exhibited at HIKARI, Momoko Schafer’s solo exhibition at Strike-Slip Gallery, May 1st, 2025 through June 15th, 2025. If this piece is purchased, it still must be exhibited for the full duration of the exhibition. Thank you for your understanding
This piece was one of the first in the Daruma Series to be assembled incorporating Momoko’s unique mask technique.
All the previous Darumas’ faces were sculpted solely with dollops of hot glass. To achieve the larger Darumas the face was created on a separate form, brought down to room temperature, cut and carved into a mask, then heated back up to be assembled onto the final form.
By changing the scale of the Daruma their heavier presence and prominent watchful eye serves as a stronger reminder of your goals and intention.
