The Emperor

I was involved in a particularly difficult situation and was in quite a quandary that completely freaked me out. Somebody that was affected by the same thing phoned me full of the most beautiful things to say about it all.

While I was listening on the phone I thought that my emperor is stark naked and this person’s emperor is clothed in the most lavish outfit, complete with tiara and high heels. I made this sculpture for that sort of person.

If you want to be supported while believing your pack of lies, you’d best make sure you have a bunch of monkeys underneath you. Chances are they won’t be the most upright of citizens.
