One of the main strengths of this book lies in the author's ability to present complex philosophical issues in a very pragmatic way ... Practical advice is purposefully presented in the context of much wider and more complex issues relating to cultural identity, human expression and communication; the underlying issues that place masks in their social, cultural and spiritual context. It reminds us of the importance of critical appreciation, self-expression and a moving away from the all too familiar process-based approach to teaching art and design. These are the qualities that give Maskwork its heightened significance for art and design education. Mary Greenacre, in The Journal of Art and Design Education, Vol 20.2
