but I’m also slightly conflicted as its art week in NYC and everyone is
out and about at the Armoury, Scope and Spring Break fairs, and I’m home
cutting stencils.
*This scenario makes me question my
intentions. On the one hand it matters that I make work which is fragile and visibly
disappears into its environment and mostly I hope for just one person to deeply
enter into thinking about the piece. On the other hand I’m here to expand my
career so I need the crowds, need the ‘right people’ to come. Therefore there
is no harmony between the philosophy of the work – creating works that might be
overlooked, and the pragmatism of arts business – look at me look at me.
