Kim Jones aka Mud Man

Who is the person covered in mud? Who is taking the picture? Where is this happening?
Lone's alter ego / spilt personality mud man is a fascinating idea, that he is putting himself through physically greuling activity in order to reach out to people and gain some new understanding of himself and the world is courageous. He says he is not "primitive man" and challenges viewers notions of what modern and primitive are. He also blurs lines beween sculture/ performance art and public indecency. I like what he says about "reaching for more potent images". I think we all have to be more aware of creating more broad reaching images and ideas for our own minds as well as the group mind.
Where did Mudman come from?
This is my style because he seems to form the basic strcucture for he ventures from a very personal reaction to atrocities and hardships that he has indured. The recurring theme of the mud or earth in he thoughts makes me more aware that the actual dirt we sometimes can stand on is a loaded image. That this vital component is harder to ffind in cities where jones works is a sad sign of our times.I also enjoy that he allows people to view his process perhaps encouraging rtransformation in the as well.
Is Mudman more for Jones psyche or for humanity's?
The answer to this seemsto be both, like a growing amount of art there is almost a theraputic element for both artist and viewer. The war drawings would support this notion. These give people an understanding about the nature of battle being personal and universal at the same time.
Will mudman continue to evolve and will he be joined by other creatures transformed or released by interaction with Mudman?
I would hope yes, this traveling sculptural alternative or complimentary self seems to be something we all should investigate, ya never know who you might meet wondering the streets as ornamented versions of themsleves.
