Kim Jones
Pg, 208-213
After
reading about Kim Jones and his alter ego Mudman I became very interested that
his man dressed up as this different man and walked the streets and several
different cities. Kim intrigued me because it was such a different way to
express oneself than the other artists I have read about so far. I thought it
was awesome how he did not try to hide anything in being Mudman. He got dressed
and put on his costume in the open and took mud from wherever he could find it
in the city, which was either in a park or on private property. I enjoyed how his character was mostly
natural and one big conversation piece. He did not put on an act with the
costume he talked to people as he normally would, but he just wanted to get a
reaction out of modern day society and see how they would react. He said it was
a good way to meet people. My thoughts on his artwork, is its very creative and
different. He took a different approach than most people because he said
sculpture and painting were too restrictive. He wanted to branch out and be
different, which I respect. I think Mudman is an awesome idea and very
original. He gets to see how modern day civilians react to it, whether they are
curious and appreciative or stand-offish and offended. Kim Jones is very
creative and I respect his courageous and appeal to not being tied down to
restrictive artwork.
