Inspired by the Hawaiian rain forest, his masks reveal an elegant restraint and Ira's unique style derived from a rich mythical past. Collectors often hang the masks outdoors where they eventually merge with their surroundings, becoming home to insects, ferns, mosses and more.
​
On an island in the middle of the sea comes a spirit and from this spirit comes the work of I r a O n o.
​
How many masks do I wear?
One for each person I meet...
The masks come from no one place but are a composite of all my experiences living in nature...
Like clouds floating in a calm sky their creation comes to me in visions
each unique; each bringing its own gifts of power -
"having no eyes they see...
saying no words they speak..."
​
Ira's pit-fired, hand-built clay masks are adorned with natural fibers and beads.
Handmade in
Volcano Hawaii
