Facing It (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I make art about what scares me.Not metaphorically. Not as a theme I chose because it sounded interesting in a grant application. I make art about what actually terrifies me, in the specific, personal, embarrassing, ordinary way that fear lives in a real human life. The fear that lives in my chest at 3am. The fear that makes me not open the email. The fear that has been running my life longer than I can remember.This is not therapy. It is not confession. It is not performance of vulnerability fo

I have been here almost fifteen years.That is longer than I have lived anywhere else. Longer than my childhood home. Longer than any apartment.

Sometimes it is someone who died before you were born but whose gesture you recognize in your own hands.I have been thinking a lot lately about influences. Not just who influenced me but why it matters to know. Why it is worth the time to look carefully at what other art
The Gaze, The Mirror, and The Woman Who Learned to Look Back (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I recently watched a video essay called Can the Male Still Gaze? by Tom van der Linden on his YouTube channel Like Stories of Old. Thanks for the recommendation Eric!Van der Linden grounds the essay in Laura Mulvey’s 1975 theory of the male gaze — the idea that cinema has historically assumed a heterosexual male viewer as default, framing women as objects to be looked at rather than as fully realized people with their own inner lives. The camera fragments women’s bodies. It lingers. It assigns w
