“it’s almost as if through the manipulations in the dark, without the ability to see, and with no revision at the end… you’ve summoned some sort of dark magic that exceeds what you intentionally contribute as an artist. ”

I see it in the way that language is more powerful than I am. And language will outlive me. And language, if it’s in a pissy mood, will mock my grave. It’s way more powerful than me. And this medium, too, is more powerful than I am. I’m just entering into it, playing with it, enjoying it. — Ralph Angel
