two women who make me think I think this very firmly places me under neurotic and not psychotic, please use the correct term in future :) Renata Salecl, The Paradox of Choice --- I started a piece with the same theme as the 1x4 wooden board painting I left them to chop up at school. I didn't mean to but the floating bodies surfaced by themselves. They're more colorful this time and the black is more black, and the canvas is much smaller-- but I think L was wrong to push me into the deep end. --- I keep looking at Hannah Wilke, the older, the balder, the sicker And I remember the girls saying - she's so much more beautiful, her work is so much more strong And I remember the lonely smiles and the lonely nods in agreement. The lonely mutual understanding. I think of the connoisseurs I know. The collectors of garish beautiful. The buy and sell and sell and buy unless we're being noble revolutionaries without a name - but with a clearly definable and easily recognizable style. And it takes all I can muster not to give the look they give to me when I'm being uncool. And I think of the connoisseurs, the collectors -- and I know which posters they would choose And not one of them would be wrinkled or sagging or sick |
