I was commissioned to create an illustration showing how
the imagination refuses to be repressed and the internal struggle of the
creative in oppressive situations by a professor I work with at IADT of
Nashville. I am a strong advocate of creative freedom and agree with the
following quotes on controversy. The images erupting from the man’s head show a
progress of thought from left to right of shapes forms and connections in one
way or another, illustrating the progress of thought. All of the other symbols
are fairly straight forward and do not need explaining.
“I
don't see how you can write anything of value if you don't offend someone.”

“How
could anything non-controversial be of intellectual interest to grown-ups?”
