Your work can be folk art slash abstract slash dada slash land art. I like these possibly related words: nuance, simplify, revise, alter, polish, interpolate, arc. Grunge, geometric, gridded, gradient, gaudy, genre.

In its arguably most transformative and relevetory capacity, it is the power that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared."
