“It’s important that each creation had its own unique identity. I would work on a [headpiece] and then leave it alone for days. Each time I went back, it was with fresh eyes and new energy.” -Lyle XOX

“When I put on [a headpiece], I see ‘Lyle’ slowly drift away and ‘Lyle XOX’ emerge. [Witnessing this] feels otherworldly and imparts a high that is intoxicating for me.” -Lyle XOX
