Artist Maria Roosen, together with friends from near and far, has created large masks that say something about their creators and the special friendship that they have with the artist. These inventive, spherical faces are the inspiration behind an engaging children’s book that features all kinds of familiar aspects of friendship: making friends, finding friends, identifying with friends, being different, that unique bond, playing with friends and so on. A sturdy, elongated book in concertina form (leporello) with a cover, to be read as a hardback or opened out and displayed as an artist’s object.
