Why my artist name is the manufactured naturalist? It's about the experience if creative expression being both organic and digital inherently in my personal experience and sharing those perspectives in various mediums as a way of exploring the larger creative consciousness or innernet. The strangeness of the neonatural aesthetic always shared through and discussed through filtered lenses and poseable words. The juxtaposition and integration of meme and memory. All formed and curated by our mind rarely comprehended or viewed but shaping the place we stand. So mostly I'm still figuring it out. Til next time. - MFNT

Before we can extend our compassion to others, we first have to extend it to ourselves. We have to look at our own neurotic expressions - our confused thoughts and disturbing emotions - are actually helping us wake up. Our aggression can help us develop clarity and patience. Once we see that this mind of confusion is also our mind of awakening, we can appreciate it and have confidence in our ability to work with it. When we understand this, we can begin to let go of our previous attitude of revulsion toward our emotions.
