“Proven ability to work with urgency and prioritize ruthlessly in a fast-paced environment.” Fuck right off. Job listing copy is like source code for all that is wrong with this shit country right now. I’m about to calmly and peacefully prioritize my life and health thank you very much

I’m curious as well. Been dubious of the impact of social media on the arts since the og hashtag premiered on twitter 13 years ago. Really hope you’re right with entering a new phase!

Yes! I’m here now, off meta and the nefariously banal others, but am trying to re-acquaint myself with the email first approach from many many years ago

Dang, that’s how to do it

Dig it. I’ve been lingering in the antiquities and ancient art sections of museums where in the past I would have breezed by to the contemporary galleries. It’s been rewarding slowing down and looking more closely as the old old stuff. That Anagram of the Sweet Name of Mary is fascinating looking

Indeed. I remember when social media platforms turned over all the time. It was exciting and probably good for helping x culture to not stagnate. I’m very cautiously hopeful the churn might start back up. 🤞

Feeling this drawing lately. From 2018. Started this series in 2015 when things were starting to get pretty uncomfortable. It’s charcoal on canvas over panel. 47.5 x 45 in.

Sick of meta so yet again trying another platform to post art shit and build community.

This piece (Bubble Gum and String No. 12, 60 x 72 in., Acrylic, silk floss on canvas) will be on view starting this coming Friday at Light Art + Design in Chapel Hill as part “Contemporaries” group show.
