Asawa is best known for her sinuous wire sculptures that she began making while studying at Black Mountain College. In 1947, Asawa went to Toluca, Mexico, where she learned how to crochet wire from local artists who used the technique to create baskets. With this technique, Asawa went on to create a complex body of sculpture that challenged conventions of the genre during the mid-twentieth century. After Asawa and Lanier moved to San Francisco in 1949, they became parents to six children and active community members in the Bay Area. As an arts activist, Asawa co-founded the public high school, the Ruth Asawa San Francisco School of the Arts, and served as an influential member of the San Francisco Arts Commission and California Arts Council, among other undertakings.

Asawa became interested in mask-making after reading a 1966 Life magazine article on Roman portraiture. She learned the technique of casting faces from a public-school art teacher that same year. Her first masks were fired by friends who were ceramic artists. In 1980 her son, Paul Lanier, who later assisted and fired many of the masks, improved her casting technique, and Asawa continued making masks until 2000. She created more than 400 individual masks in her lifetime and often produced duplicates so she could keep one and give one to the sitter.

Our world has a lot of fascinating things for us to look at, but to understand why we see these things in the first place, it is useful to learn about how the brain makes it possible for us to see things. When you look at something your eyes send a message to the brain with information about what you are looking at. Different parts of the brain will have to work together to figure out what all information means. For instance, if you see a dog running up to the playground at recess, you might be excited about the possibility that it is your dog, because it is the same size and color as your dog. You might even mistakenly think it really is your dog and that he has run away from home to come give you a kiss at school. Top-down processing is the technical term we use to describe what is happening when we tend to see what we want to see or what we think might be there. Top-down processing plays a key part in allowing our brains to go on a face scavenger hunt.
