Very good, unexpected. Reminds one of Borges, and of some Michael Ende stories. A tragic rendering of Pygmalion as Golem creator.

Some of Keats' art projects are wonderfully goofy, others are tacky. I suspect he has a source of income other than his art works: there is something of a hobbyist about him.
