Author's Links | ||||||||||||
Mike Finn is Ringmaster for the Backyard Circus Audience-Participation Theater, lead construction consultant for Leathers & Assoc. Community-Built Playgrounds Worldwide., and has produced six books of drawings and texts. He's been a NYSCA Poets-In-The-Schools storyteller, performance poet, eurythmy speech artist at theaters, community centers, universities and schools for 25 years. He was a Waldorf class teacher, and a stained-glass craftsman for Lamb Studios (the oldest s.g. studio in America), and lives with his family in a six-story tower he built high on a hilltop over Ithaca. He's working on a book about his father Mickey Finn, union pioneer, UAW organizer and teamster mediator. Suddenly this visual metaphor of the overenhanced Ego presented itself to me, while attending a faculty meeting and watching the moods gathering behind people's heads. Of course then this Ego beingness started presenting itself in countless human interactions; I watched and drew them down into a collection, tragic and comic, from which these pieces are selected. I hope we recognize ourself in them, and make our meek adjustments. Click on each image for a larger view.
