While working for the County of Los Angeles at LACMA back in the '60s I discovered the New York School Abstract Expressionist Painters, and identified with their "rule breaking and making ideas of painting, sculpting, assembling their creations" to suit their tastes and not necessarily the dictates of bystanders. In short they did it the way they FELT it. I remember asking Bernie Casey at one of his openings, "why does the circle have a such prominence in your work(s), to which he replied "BECAUSE" the proverbial answer to such a question! I am an artist. I use visual media, camera, paints, etc. to communicate with other Human BEANS messages of form, colours, compositions, lighting, perspectives, textures, and other tools of the trade provided by GOD for me to utilize in displaying the talents HE gave me.
