I am going to say that it is Mutual Benefit. It is Exchange.
Altruism is great ... but I believe the lyrics are
"just to love and be loved in return."

Create a Tangible thing that you Give which prompts the viewer to create.
Not just yours.(ownership because you "like" it).

I do tend to like work that is piled on.
As much as I like work that is reductive. Something in both compulsions makes me happy, makes me wonder and process the mind of the creator as much as the joy and stimulation I get from seeing it.

My work involves the Landscape - figuratively and literally, inferred or represented.
Language and Sky-as-metaphor are two very broad themes that I frequently use.
Language is an intriguing aspect of communication;
it can be confusing or clear,
effecting how we engage with our
