The McCoy essay connected with me in the way that she brought up the reactions to minimalism and rules. I also subscribe to the idea of oder and cleanliness, though it happened somewhat naturally. It seems that most of my works just end up being simple and orderly, following the rules and not just adding elements to a page unless I think it actually has a meaning or purpose. Though, I do understand that sometimes the purpose is to be messy and create chaos; I guess I just haven't come across that situation very often. I do wish I could incorporate more free flowing style into my works. More “ugly” with a purpose.
