When the highest price achieved in a @ChristiesInc auction (alongside @harvey_rayner) is a poem. By a woman. To the collector and to @gucci: thank you for believing in me. To the person who told me the price was too high: I know my value. TBH, this was a bargain. #SOLD.

woke up to an epiphany: it is not my job to make everyone else comfortable, especially not at my own expense. i don’t have to laugh at jokes that aren’t funny, or smile and nod if i disagree, or shrink myself to placate small minds. none of us should.

good morning! gentle reminder that to be an artist is to take risks and move beyond the comfort zone, not to do what’s tried and true or easily understood. artists aren’t content creators or consumer goods brands, despite growing pressure to think of ourselves that way. resist.

i’m disappointed in this community. an artist who isn’t allergic to inhumanity is no artist after all.
Fascinating results from the poll. Trump took the lead across the board—58% of artists and 67% of collectors, totaling 62% of votes. Two things really stand out here:. 1️⃣ I was expecting a higher Democratic lean among artists, as the art community is often viewed as left-leaning.

Over on IG, someone is trying to convince me that AI isn't creative because "art is about making something new out of nothing." That "art isn't created from other art." This kind of cognitive dissonance and, frankly, ignorance is perpetually baffling to me. Setting aside that.
