I saw her work for the first time in 2018, and I still think about it often.

Louis Nevelson’s sculpture at st. louis Art museum

This sculpture is in SLAM’s permanent collection and they recently put it on display after a long time in storage She’s my favorite artist, and you can look at this piece for an hour and it keeps feeling fresh, like you never get to the bottom of understanding it. I like her work (and this piece in particular) because it’s emotionally rich. To me it embodies paradoxes like being both playful and somber, lively and elegiac, busy but unified, individual but collective, primal but contemporary, geometric and organic, abstract yet figurative, dissonant and harmonious, pattern and noise, cheeky and serious, quiet and commanding. Go spend some time with her.

being a nerd about stuff

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

not being on tiktok

i had it for a little over a year until i was like wow this is actually terrible! i genuinely think it has negatively impacted society by ruining people’s attention spans, having a horrific algorithm, and most of all by the most mind-numbing or outright harmful trends - fake words that people now use IRL (“unalive”), trad wife tiktok, shein hauls, body-focused fitness vids that encourage fatphobia and unhealthy habits, shallow political/feminist theory and queer discourse, “alpha male” podcaster tiktok, encouraging overconsumption in general, trends ruining local spots or niche things… the list goes on
