For a long time I had a resume and a list of influences on this page. Now I'd just like to share some quotes that reflect my own feelings about the world and art...
"There is no end to what a living world will demand of you." Parable of the Sower, Octavia E. Butler
"Painting for me is a very private occupation... (Paintings) grow like a plant, slowly putting out shoots, they need pruning, meditating on, while the roots grow in the dark." - Eileen Agar, surrealist artist
"Many of my poems, as I understand them, rise not from one motivation, but from many, not from a single aim but multiple intentions and beliefs shifting and modifying, overlapping and affecting one another." - Pattiann Rogers
"At the moment we must transform the individual Eros into the collective Eros." - Joseph Beuys, 1979
