I need to make things beautiful, and meaningful. Those two goals are completely different, but both important to me. Beauty for the sake of love. Unthinking adoration. Unless my purpose is better served by roughness, I try for beauty. My drawings are frequently not at all beautiful, and precise meaning within one layer seems impossible for me to achieve. Therefore I must acknowledge the possibilities and subtleties of meaning. An ambiguous message still provokes a response.

Is that the goal then? A response, whether rapture prompted by beauty, or a confused conversation prompted by my myriad messages...?
