.I want the entire thing to be a well-rounded picture of who I am creatively by the end
Everything I make is in some way going back into my own history and picking up threads
and combining them in new ways. The way I look at it is, I have created a system or an
.instrument that is generative and enjoy using that system or machine to generate new things
.That’s where my true joy is as an artist
