'This project I've launched myself upon, as most of my projects appear to do, has become larger and more unwieldy ( in my mind at least ) as the weeks go by. I do wonder why my creative projects always seem to develop in this way. They become a bit more than messages from my ego. This tendency towards the baroque and grandiose, could this be a symptom of frustrated creativity over reaching? Is this legacy making? That I'm not going to be leaving a legacy to the world via having children, so let's leave this absolutely gargantuan piece of artwork, too big to fit in most folks homes. And even though I will have undoubtedly put a lot of myself into it, this will probably be the first thing to be broken up and thrown on the bonfire, after I'm dead.'
