DESTROY TO BUILD
It may be that the engineers created an artificial life form that at first helped them build their society, yet later destroyed it. The reason I think this way is because I cannot separate my creations or expressions from the things and events that inspire me and have come before me. Art, in whatever form, is an expression of life. Objects can be destroyed, but experiences can not. I take to “destroy to build” as a willingness to allow the art making process to be ugly, messy, to get to a better solution. Unless you take risks, and be willing to loose both the materials and time invested, you’re always playing it safe. Safe soon becomes boring and a ‘cliche’. To create is to transform.
