Can an artist make anything utterly independent of who they are? Maybe you can; I can not. I do not comprehend anything other than the necessity to make a piece that is significant to moments of my life. Since my life is not being lived in pieces and is ever-changing, my works are also frequently re-made or added on-to if need be. Using materials or tools as a language that help me recognize and transcribe my thoughts into art, I use myself as the levain for any project. Discovering or learning a medium during a project is a part of my process and is as crucial as developing the idea itself.
