We Never Did Things As

Sadness Is A Super Important Thing Not To Be Ashamed About But To Include In Our Lives. One Of The Bigger Problems With Sadness Or Depression Is There's So Much Shame Around It. If You Have It You're A Failure. You Are Felt As Being Very Unattractive.

My Experience, With Both My Parents, Is That Grief Has A Lot Of Down, Sad Things, But I Was Also Really Emotionally Raw, In The First Year After Each Of Them Passed. Flowers Smelled More Intensely, My Relationships Were Hotter, And I Was More Willing To Risk. I Was Going For It A Lot More. I Was 'unsober' And I Wasn't Playing By My Rules.

Being A Good Hans Haacke Student, Part Of His Influence On Me Is That There's No Difference Between A Gallery Show And A Film - Or Even An Ad And A T-shirt-in Terms Of Cultural Legitimacy. They're Just Different Contexts In Which To Have Some Sort Of Communication.

The Littlest Thing Can Have The Strongest Connection When You're Grieving. Your Proustian, Poetic Nerve Is Turned Up To Ten.
