Manifest

Manifesting my need to create visual and written art. I also manifest my decision to do so while causing the least harm possible to this damaged world in which we find ourselves inhabiting.

Therefore, I will use collected, reclaimed, or recycled elements. Because I don’t need new materials to express what I need.

Therefore, I forever give up the desire to publish a paper book (even though I would love to!). Because I don’t want a single more branch to be felled in my name.

Because my conscience wouldn’t let me live peacefully if I knew that the place where we live continues to be harmed because of my art, which is so unimportant.
