I went back and looked through your projects. I like your style, we share interest in some of the same influences.
I find your personal story and experience with the academic art world interesting. Especially for the frustrations experienced, yet you managed to maintain clarity of finding the value and importance of what you were learning.
It sounds a bit like the academic world was trying to get you to think one way but you chose to think your way…isn't that the purpose of higher education? To broaden the mind?
