We have become acutely aware that being open and available online is fraught with uncertainty and has often turned out to be seeded with offensive. Malicious drive by e-mail "trashing" has at times been a little unpleasant and frequently was upsetting. Even responding to numerous e-mail questions had become increasingly tiresome and of course very time consuming, and of many a simple "thank you" was never returned.

The unvarnished naked truth is this, being available online has definitely been quite inconsequential to our ongoing inventive vision questing journey. Therefore after much consideration we decided to embrace an exclusionary state, opting to purposefully sequester and seclude ourselves, this in order to maintain our sense of worth and dignity. We have done this by entering into a state of "aesthetic exile", despite it being a more solitary journey, it is a highly productive inspirational creative realm of being.
