srsly art woman

Mean­while, in art class . . .

                Everyone:
                * be­ing su­per qui­et and polite *
                Me:
                * ar­rives late, still drink­ing coffee,
                takes over, like, three desks;
                pro­ceeds to slam things around and curse loudly *
 
 

 

 

I’m not re­al­ly con­cerned with whether a dis­cus­sion on the tran­sient na­ture of earth­ly life as rep­re­sent­ed through the ephemer­al ma­te­ri­al­i­ty of peas­ant food in a French still life, is ever go­ing to come up in a job interview. 

But thanks, art school, for try­ing to keep me pre­pared anyway.

                One which he proud­ly drinks as a toast to Lenin,

                and one just for the drink’s sake.

I keep hav­ing dreams about my hair in re­la­tion to my iden­ti­ty.

What starts as a quick, emo­tion­al de­ci­sion to­ward dras­tic change, be­comes im­me­di­ate re­gret when I do it all wrong, and through a process I end up fix­ing and lov­ing it, and my­self, more than before …

This is also the process through which I make art usu­al­ly – learn­ing new things through fuck­ing up, and then (re­gard­less of how the thing ac­tu­al­ly turns out) feel­ing pret­ty good about my own will­ing­ness to fuck up in­stead of not trying.
 

 

It so rarely oc­curs to me that any of my prob­lems have to do with be­ing a woman. I keep get­ting caught up in this idea, like, it’s the 21st cen­tu­ry and my gen­der com­pris­es most of the planet.
 
 

                I
                don’t
                have
                the
                patience
                to
                ex­press my feelings
                about
                being
                infantilized
                by everyone
                I’m
                smarter
                than.
 
 

Ac­cord­ing to Ar­den Leigh,
I should con­sid­er over­haul­ing my wardrobe to fit most­ly with­in the ide­al im­age that I want to be­come … but I just don’t know that it’s pos­si­ble to live like a steam­punk Ste­vie Nicks ²⁴⁄₇.
 

Prepar­ing to lead my flock.
