It has been a while since I thought deeply about my work in fresh terms.  The old rhetoric is true enough but I am needing new handles to understand it in more accurate terms.  This work is, after all, not purely a projection of intention.  I intend the movements and set-up and then work free of intent into spontaneous sometimes chaotic and often restructured forms and gestures.  The work must surprise me on some level for it to remain valid and moreover motivational.  Do I fall into repetition?  Likely sometimes.  Does it still surprise me as I better understand my impulses, formal and visionary.  Yes.
