Artistic Philosophy:
"When emphasis is put on self-creation verses adhering to a strict method or style, the artist within is given room to explore and travel avenues of discovery transcending the individuals id and super-ego creating a whole new concept of self and ego and in so defining themselves in their own image. The source of most angst and liberation in life can be found on the journey towards self. Most musicians will never venture the path, yet all artists shall be found there." – Ivory
