Note : Artist's statement: Hyenas like artists, are scavengers prowling on the edge of society. I love hyenas because of their other-worldly whooping, their ungainliness and their 'bad hair' (I share the latter two characteristics). I also regard the animal as a very apt image of the 'id' in opposition to the ego and the super-ego, the monkey on my back. In the three lithographs I have depicted The Muse by Day as a Hyena in guineafowl's clothing, the spots as disguise or drag to celebrate the gift of mimicry. In the Muse by Night I have concentrated on the animal as far-seeing, seer-like with the coat of spots as shaman's eyes. In Muse Amused I have tried to celebrate a generally despised animal having an existential guffaw. Judith Mason, 2006, https://www.artprintsa.com/judith-mason-archive.html
