“A Piece Out in the World\u201d<\/p>\n

I am an artist.\u00a0 I create.\u00a0 I collaborate.\u00a0 I share my art with others.<\/p>\n

These statements have held true for me and show up in my life.<\/p>\n

Enter my EQUUS mask.<\/p>\n

I have written about my \u201cEQUUS\u201d horse masks before. It seems I get to write about it again.\u00a0 The story continues.
\nThere is a continuing journey filled with opportunities that show up.\u00a0 Opportunities that need to be considered and acted on.<\/p>\n

In this case: William Shakespeare\u2019s\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cMidsummer\u00a0 Night\u2019s Dream\u201d<\/p>\n

Our Friend, Brian, is involved in directing \u201cMidsummer Night\u2019s Dream\u201d\u00a0<\/a> in Malden, MA with the Oak Grove Improvement Association. \u00a0 They have set up a series of \u201cTheater in the Parks\u201d for the month of July.<\/p>\n

My\u00a0 family is involved.\u00a0 I am the graphic artist, and my kids are playing the little fairies. (too cute)<\/p>\n

\u201cMidsummer Night\u2019s Dream\u201d has a play within the play.\u00a0 One character wears a donkey mask. So there was a need to have a donkey mask.\u00a0 So one of my EQUUS masks was modified accordingly to be a donkey mask.\u00a0 Cool, yes.<\/p>\n

The thing about my EQUUS masks that is interesting to me is that this art work has endured.
\nI created 6 EQUUS masks in 2000 for Ubiquity stage\u2019s production of \u201cEQUUS\u201d.\u00a0 They are masks\/ props.
\nA lot of props go to the way side after a production.\u00a0 Yet not these masks.
\nOver the years these masks have been used in 2 plays, one Halloween costume, and 1 art exhibit.\u00a0 And now another play added.\u00a0 A friend mentioned the word \u201cEnduring\u201d.\u00a0 hmmmm<\/p>\n

How is this?
\nThis is something to ponder.<\/p>\n

Perhaps I should just enjoy each opportunity as it comes.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve enjoyed the events and connections along the way.<\/p>\n

I look forward and wonder \u00a0what\u2019s ahead.<\/p>\n

I feel a commitment\u00a0 to share my art with the world.<\/p>\n
