Text on Mask: 'Here is the Old Man. Into our village. Into our keeping. No longer can he hide. No longer on the fields. Can he stay.'
'I am inspired by the richness and diversity of North Carolina's woodlands; from tree mushrooms, wild grasses and field herbs - and they find a way into all my creations. The flax of thistles, the dogwood buds, the different woods and their fruits - these are the paintbrushes of my craft'. ~ Jerry Jacuzio

When I saw my first hare in County Donegal, Ireland ~ I understood why the Celts held it as a mystical animal. It was lean, long in leg; more like a small dog than a domesticated rabbit. Stark white against the craggy hill. And before I could point it out to my companions, it sprang and disappeared like a ghost into the green hill.
