I watched my friends and colleagues – radical, anarchist, ultra-liberal, intellectual, creative individuals move unchanged from decade to decade. I saw that as quite the oddity, as the world changes daily.
In addition, I came to doubt my own life-long convictions because I could not separate those instilled in me by decades of so-called “alternative” media, which in time, I saw become the assumptions of mainstream media because the biases of my friends, peers, and colleagues were carried along with them directly into it.
At some point, I decided that my identity was my essential aesthetic creation. Since then, I have consciously crafted it and it exists as does any other text – in a constant state of evolution, flux, and re-interpretation.
My convictions today are the result of life-experience, introspection, and the creative application of aesthetic principles.
