On March 10th of 2001 I was lucky enough to spend time with Max Donson and interview him about his work and his philosophy. I asked him about "Fear of Aging" . The following excerpts are from that interview WinePhilosopher
Interview Max Donson:
“Fear of Aging” could be male or female but I chose a female. She has a very beautiful body with an over sized head. The
left side is worked into a mask and it’s all symbolic of her own world.
Getting lower into the bust area, the left bust is full and young while
the right is sagging. If she were clothed you would not see it but she would
know it. On the left
shoulder there are slash points, 1,2,3,4, slash 5 you understand.
There are quite a few of them I think It adds up to forty, and it’s
just a statement of something that we all go through whether we are
enlightened or not, it’s just fear of aging. WinePhilosopher:
Do the slashes on the arm represent the passing of time? Max:
Yes. WP:
And the mask, what does the mask represent? The face is half masked. Max:
Yes, that’s a social face; it’s a social world. Well it’s the
makeup, it’s the hairstyle, it’s what we all go true to make ourselves look
young and acceptable and there is nothing wrong with being old. WP:
Is it saying that the mask being on the side as the slashes means that
over time we learn to build our masks thicker and thicker? Max: Exactly
