through the object

One of my rules is that I don’t want to be inventive or, more precisely, I want to avoid needless innovation.  For a long time I only re-presented things that I found, but at a certain point, when I felt a strong pull towards making things, I loosened the constraint.  So now it’s okay to invent a form, but I have to feel like it existed in advance of me.
