I have a significant interest in artists and art that explore the fringes, allowing for a broader understanding of the cultures in which we exist. I greatly value and condone exposure to art that may be challenging or abrasive; I believe any such art is worth a calculated observance or study. Above all, I applaud anyone who can shamelessly express themselves in a manner that exhibits a unique intelligence for creativity, and I admire anyone who can find a way to stay dedicated to it.
