Writing
 
 
When developing my ideas, I find it helpful to mull them over in written form. Often times I just need to pose questions and ponder them for long periods to gauge my interest in a given subject or project. Coming up with the right questions can be the basis for an artwork. This section is currently rather limited, displaying only my theses and my blog entries, but I have plans to post some of my older papers that I feel were well written, as well as write some new essays on subjects for future projects.
