Spanish term or phrase: esa forma como resuelve

Yet another from the Mexican art exhibit. I don't understand the grammar in the second half of the sentence.

Resultan sorprendentes y audaces los diseños de vestuario; esa forma imaginaria como resuelve las máscaras, los artefactos.

English translation:the imaginative way they incorporate masks and props.

Explanation:
The costume designs are surprising and bold (or simply, surprisingly bold) in the imaginative way they incorporate masks and props.

I'm not entirely sure about the translation of artefactos. The context seems theatrical with the references to costumes and masks.

Thank you, Michelle! I took some liberties with the construction and translated it: "His costume designs are surprising and audacious, incorporating masks and props in a most imaginative manner."
