Artist Statement Fun

That time has come again, I used to dread this compulsory activity that needed to be completed at the end of every semester seeing that I was a drawing major (the only major that had to do this twice a year).

Well... You know... uhm... FANCY! And yeah, I have read a few statements that have left me bewildered and feeling utterly stupid as I back away slowly hoping that no one noticed the fool who doesn't fancy the fancy words.

So I found this site, one that allows you to input the words and it will spew out your statement and voila, you're done. So tell me what you think...

Using warm loops, non-linear narratives, and allegorical images as patterns, Sharon creates meditative environments which suggest the expansion of culture...
