Philosophical Moment

I attempt to be prescient with my designs, but am having some difficulty finishing these pieces while they are still fresh.  That being said, I really do believe that art does not occur in a vacuum. We feed off of each other, inspire each other. We are taking part in a conversation when we create art.  Attempting to say something different... how different can we really be? We are shaped by our time, culture, and institutions. How to be interesting?
