I've been working on the mask man project for a while, and am just getting around to writing a statement about it. Since many artist statements seem so lame, I figured I'd just do it my way, much like the man in the mask does. So here it is...

1

There once was a man
Whose face was a mask
For whom fitting in
Was no easy task

So he went to the bunny
Who knew good and evil
And asked how to get along
In the world of human people

The bunny smirked
A lascivious grin
And said if I tell you
You'll never win

That's fine said the man
Because life is too tragic
Ah but said the bunny
That's part of its magic

So the man carried on
Completing his chores
Looking for love
While ignoring the wars

2

How can I be
So callous and cruel
So selfish and ugly?
I feel like a fool

Not so said the bunny
Who by this time had joined him
When everything's sad
It ends up being funny

There's no way to win
Not even through fame
But first I do think
That you'll need a name

What good's a name
When I don't have Me
More important than glory
Is an identity

Ha ha said the bunny
Whatever suits you
The object
The subject
It's all what you Do

In time you'll learn
That there is no Word
The answer's "do good"
The rest, just absurd.


Yeah. So. Your thoughts are appreciated. We need more fables.
