Mudman is the alter ego of the artist named Kim Jones. Mudman is a shaman-like entity caked in mud and other organic substances who appeared on city streets, subways, galleries, and museums wearing a cumbersome lattice structure of sticks on his back. His artworks grew larger and ultimately merged with him.
He performed solitary rituals in a time and place not of his own era, but belonging to other cultures and other lands. He is a catalyst who helped inspire mythological beings that are half human and beast from legends and fairy tales.
