Philosophy Statement(constantly evolving)


We like art that feels genuine and that is concerned with (issues, themes, topics, whatever) that are greater than the artist. Genuine art is necessarily new and innovative (at least, to a point) but not self-consciously so. We think good art is art that is crafted with a reader/viewer in mind but isn't concerned with whether that reader/viewer will enjoy it.
