    Your work is really interesting. I would like to know if you consider your art to come from your lower or higher unconscious. I guess one could consider this too personal of a question, in which case you would just not answer. I am willing to guess that you are consciously traveling through your lower unconscious to find inspiration for your drawings. This may be just how I am seeing your pictures and may be as far off the mark as one can get. Still it’s fun to think about.
