Sometimes people try to hide their own offense by loudly accusing somebody else of offending - that's this title because it's what I see in the composition. I wasn't thinking consciously about it, but I had seen this situation and heard it being discussed around the time I made this.
Please note that this piece is quite small, 10.5 x 10.5cm. I have included a visa gift card in one photo as a size reference, it is not part of the piece.

As a wage-working person without great stretches of time for art making or many dollars to spare, when possible I like to express and realize my art in a direct, immediate way with some nontraditional (not traditionally expensive) materials. I often use recycled/re-purposed manufacturing material, junk mail, thrift shop finds and some items that are great for art making but weren't necessarily made to be used that way (or priced that way!) I don't feel inspired by expensive, exclusive art materials and I'd rather explore every curious experiment in art making with stuff that comes cheap, free and with some serendipity. This way I feel like I'm collaborating with the flow of materials in the world around me. So the non-preciousness of the materials allows for experimentation and investigation with various materials. Fear and doubt aren't involved. Good and interesting things happen.
