My genes come from Northern Europe . 
 In the early 19th century they emigrated to the South Pacific to escape poverty and cruelty. They had to re-emigrate in the 20th Century to stop them gnawing at my bones. Couldn't find any sensible adornment to represent this - so I had to make my own.
 I use archeotypes ,mostly related to 14th - 17th century sympathies . I pluck them from where they only exist in theory and make them real with as little embellishment as possible.
etc etc.
I mean this is very heavy stuff,man...
