I think that becoming an image in a person's mind is a stifling, condensed sort of purgatory. I am reduced to a set of allusions and outer assumptions, and I am an image, not a painting, but a photograph, and I am not happy with being simplified to a single exposure. A painting, I think, each person absorbs your presence and then promptly creates by their own mind their connection to you, and artwork is much more varied than a photo, (though photography is a good medium, even for me, I feel it's too done & done). So make me a sculpture, a pointillist painting, make me a wood chip architecture, and allow the true self to remain uncaptured, as it is not capturable, and when you do capture it, it dies like a fire in a sealed glass jar.  
 
I am what I am, and I am not an image.
