Witches
Being a female is losing its mystery. Just about anyone can attain the female mystery. Construct what you say, look down, be demure. Paint your nails… sigh fucking sigh and smile at the same time. Fabricate, lie, lie lie lie. Reflect, deflect, PERFECT!!! Answer a question with a question. Lead people on a chase that really goes nowhere. Look to the

My work is slowly evolving. i am still working towards the resin/neon light sculptures...but I want to branch off from printmaking for a while to pursue a photography project. It involves bodily fluids. I may have a show in Brooklyn. I have to e-mail my portfolio to the gallery owners. So, I will keep you updated.
So, I will be in Columbus on the 25th. I am hopin that we can get together for a drink, speak about all this.
Now that so much is being accomplished and fulfilled. it's a light period.
Yes, that is Kate. Today we had our midterm critique, which is highly evasive. I mean, Nurul-Ayn, we are having actual art critics and curators, admissions counselors come into our studio and speak with us about our work. Plus, the other students in the program. Anyhow, Kate...she totally fell apart, which she admitted. It's just that the structure of the critique is not conducive or supportive of her thought pattern. I seriously, wanted to jump in and "save"..."rebuild" her. be there there for her absence, I guess...but I mean. My mind was so clouded with what to say about my own work...but it is that her artwork is so personal and she wants to expell any idea that she is "making art", rather than just "being" Kate. She began to cry and just paced her studio. I became hot and my head attained her thoughts in a way...and then empathy took over. I didnt cry, no...lol. I gave some advice to her afterwards. She is probably one person I definately would want you to meet. She is not morbid though. She is generally a good person. happy. but once someone penetrates her thoughts, intentions, if any...ruined.

Good for you, seriously, good for you.
Definite yes on the drinks. 21 and proud... we must go to zolas, expensive as shit, but they usually have amazing underappreciated djs.
Listen: when you first told me about Kate I felt so much for her. I am completely understanding of how she behaved in the critique. I just think she needs guidence, but she needs an older mentor. You have your shit to deal with, you must tread carefully. Listen and be aware of her. I think in her falling, she'll hold onto anything closest at the time.. it could be you. But then again this could benefit you in the strengthening of your mind etc.. etc.. I dunno do what you do. Just be more aware, that's all. I started thinking about self-destruction today. My teacher was talking about his mentor today and explained how this guy would tear people to shreds in critiques. Really the mentor was seeing what his students were made of and hoping to see the truth and strength within his students. I know my destructive tendencies need to be mastered. Essentially it bulldozes the shit and murky thoughts. But sadly in that murkiness I find a ton of inspiration. It's about discipline, know when to use your weapons and never over stay your welcome. If you feel like mush, envoke fire in your thoughts. There is always someone only to happy to control and manipulate a mushy headed student,..Have you found any teachers you trust and admire yet?
