Hi Alice,

Sounds a little more like a work in regress to me.  I guess I'm 
a bit to stodgy to get this.  I think it's probably a bit to close
to book burning to me.  

I know it's not the same thing if it's the
artist themselves doing the destroying.  It just seems kind of like 
the great painter who paints and paints, but hordes the product of
his/her painting in the attic or basement, where it is subject to
decay. Are they really artists if their work never has any impact on
society? And what is the impact on Art if you encourage society to
destroy it?

Just a thought.
