    I'd like to point out for the students out there that all
    (presumably) artists go through formative years- "What's it all
    about, what is the nature of things, and art, what am I about, what
    is 'my voice'?" In my mind, this discussion is not to discourage
    that, which would be futile anyway. In a nutshell, though, without
    getting all verbose about it, artists make art - it's the spectators
    that seem to need to build up this whole thing around it. I look at
    my portfolio, and I find it hard to pin it down to any "type" -
    maybe I can't see it, though, because it's mine. It's just my work.
