Art nowadays can only be about freedom.  This suggests that artists did not always have freedom to express whatever they needed, which in actuality is precisely the way things used to be.  The motivation for generating art has varied throughout history, and will continue to do so until art is no longer made; however artists of now are more unrestrained than ever, and the resulting imagery reflects this reality.

I sense restraints with regard to the art that I make every time I make it.  It is precisely those fleeting bonds of convention that drive the free flow of my compositions, and I feel are a necessary motivational irritation.  I could care less about redefining any artistic paradigm; the direction that I have chosen controls me as much as I control it.  I feel extremely fortunate to be able to pursue my direction as liberally as I am, and the freedom to do so is changing my imagery.  It is inevitable to me, and welcomed.  Convention is the harness, however loose, and freedom is the whip.
