Jargon Slayer came about as a result of watching efficient people work to solve problems in various redtape ladened enviroments. For the artist she is used to challenge effectively alot of core attitudes and beliefs that seperate people. There is reliance on text to bring opposites and differences into the open for the purpose of moving away from slogans and untested ideologies that are divisive. She is used as a tool against the unsympathetic elements in society. The irony is that the approach itself is quite intense and has elements of the femme fatal. In furure Jargon slayer might loose the shell of her female form and move into spirit or inhabit a different concrete form possibly not human.
