Behind The Mask is a magical exhibition of masks from the world at Brading Roman Villa , with the emphasis on the uses and tools of the mask in theatre with influences from other decorative sources . The mask is a tool of transformation and a unique medium through which human beings can express their consciousness of themselves and others . This exhibition displays masks carved in wood , formed in papier mache , card , wool paper , leather , and fibre glass . The choice of many of the maskmakers is informed by both legacy and tradition and the method of making is refracted through these . In this beautiful and engaging exhibition masks are revealed to be a form of moving sculpture . The exhibition is running until the end of September at Brading Roman Villa .
