## Ifilosofi

UMason wayazi ngokwepolitiki futhi eshukunyiswa unembheza oqinile wenhlalo. Umsebenzi wakhe waziswa ngabantu, izidalwa, imicimbi futhi kwesinye isikhathi usebenza izinkondlo, ezamthinta noma zamphazamisa kakhulu. Izithombe zakhe ziqhuba le gamut isuka ku-expressionist ngokusebenzisa ukumelwa, okuhlekisayo futhi okubonakalisayo. Umlando, izinganekwane kanye namasiko obuKhrestu nezinkolo zaseMpumalanga kwanika ngesikhwama semali esihle sokukhuthaza umsebenzi wakhe. UMason waba nomuzwa wokuthi imfundiso yenkolo ehleliwe iye yasusa isimilo esiyindida ngokomoya senkolo yakudala. 

"Izicucu zikaMason kwesinye isikhathi zithinteka ngemibono ebusayo neyezinkondlo, futhi kwesinye isikhathi zitshelwe izinkondlo zikaChristopher Smart noWilfred Owen, esinye isici esibalulekile somsebenzi wakhe ukwakheka akwethula phakathi kobuhle nokubi. Ubuso obudwebe kahle noma obupendiwe buvame ukunika indlela eya esikhaleni esihlasimulisayo, esihlasimulisayo ... Ubuhle / ukungalungi, noma ukuhlukunyezwa, isenzo se-dichotomy emsebenzini kaMason akuyona enye into ngaphandle kokubonisa indlela ubuhlungu obukhulu  ngayo. UMason ubuye wathi "Bonke ubuciko buyindlela yokudlala." 

"Owesilisa Obe Sang Owesifazane Ogcine Ethule '(owaziwa kakhulu ngokuthi yi-" The Blue Dress'); ohlanganisa imidwebo emithathu kanye nesithombe esihlangene semithombho yezindaba, sebehlangene ukuzokwakha ucezu lokusayina kweqoqo leNkantolo Yomthethosisekelo.

Ucezu lolu luphefumulelwe yizindaba ezimbili uMason azwakala emsakazweni ngesikhathi sokulalelwa kweQiniso nokubuyisana.

Njengoba i-TRC ithole, ngaphambi kokuthi uNdwandwe abulawe, "wazenzela izimbhambho zamapulasitiki aluhlaza." Lokhu kwashukumisela uMason ukuba enze ingubo yezikhwama zepulasitiki eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, ebhalwe ngokuqala kombhalo: " *Dadewethu, isikhwama sepulasitiki kungenzeka singabi yisikhali sonke sikaNkulunkulu, kepha ubambana nenyama negazi, futhi namandla, ulwa nababusi bobumnyama … "* 

" *Ngidweba ukuze ngenze umqondo wempilo yami, ukusebenzisa izingcezwana zemininingwane ehlukahlukene futhi ngigxilise uhlobo oluthile lokuhleleka, lapho ngikwazi ukubona umbono ongaqondakali. Ngingumuntu ongakholelwa emuntwini onobuhlakani benkolo obhekelela ukwenza imisebenzi yobuciko. njengokusebenzisa i-alchemy. Ukusebenzisa i-inert matter on the inert surface ukudlulisa amandla wangempela nokuba khona kwami kubonakala kimi kuyindlela yemilingo nenhlanhla yokuphila ngezinsuku zami* ". UJudith Mason, 2004

Ngiyawathanda ama-Hyaenas ngenxa yokuphamba kwabanye, ukungathandeki kwabo kanye" nezinwele zabo ezimbi "(ngabelana ngezici ezimbili zakamuva). Futhi ngithatha lesi silwane njengesihlonzi kakhulu. isithombe esifanelekile 'se-id' esiphikisana ne-ego ne-super-ego, inkawu emhlane wami. Ezincwadini ezintathu zemibhalo ngiveze i-The Muse by Day njengoHyaena ogqoke ingubo ye-Guinea, amabala njengokufihla noma ukuhudula gubha isipho sokulingisa. Kwi-Museum by Night ngigxile kakhulu esilwaneni ngakubona, ngakubona njengasekujuleni kwamabala njengamehlo ansundu.
