I, in what is hopefully my only similarity to Aristotle (I prefer Socrates and Plato) theorize that art should achieve catharsis, for either it's audience or the artist him or herself. I attempt to implement that in expelling toska (not the Nors island but for what the tumblr people may know as "negative feels"). Thus most of my works are regretfully angst ridden( like my last Deviant ID). Though I have made it a point to prevent this in future publications.As an artist, I am predominantly a poet though I am inclined to experiment with traditional visual mediums.
