I honestly don't really want to take credit for the work on this site. Often, it feels like the instinct to make something overcomes me, I think we’d all agree that the “flow state” doesn't exactly fit into the category of personal doership. I see a scene or a composition or a color, and I’m drawn to it, simple as that, sometimes I paint or draw or embroider it that day or maybe it sits on my camera roll for years before I’m drawn back to it. But i dont want to take credit for or even say that I understand the way inspiration and inspired action works, in a way it feels like I’m following breadcrumbs. It’s also hard to say where the boundary lies between “my work” and all the art I’ve seen, the music I've listened to, people I've talked to, all these things show up in everything i do. Regardless, it feels right, it feels natural, sometimes like a release. Creative expression has been a process through which I’ve learned about and connected with myself, and I hope it might foster a sense of connection in others too.
