There are many ways to make an image. I hold no allegiance to any particular method. I don't play a particular instrument. Sometimes I paint by hand; sometimes I program a computer. I pick the way of making something to match the image and I pick the image to match the technique. It's like a song with words and melody. I invent as I go along using the world, present and past, as a pallet of possibilities.
