Department.As a continuing practitioner in the visual arts I do not draw a clear
distinction between the two mediums.The second purpose derived exactly from the "punk" ethos of doing
it yourself and the "fuck you" attitude embodied within punk.The purpose, once again, is to make something "special"
and to elevate it beyond the usual defining parameters.The definition of the genre that I work within is one that is also open to
interpretation.These owe something
