A Small Needful Fact
Is that Eric Garner worked
for some time for the Parks and Rec.
Horticultural Department, which means,
perhaps, that with his very large hands,
perhaps, in all likelihood,
he put gently into the earth
some plants which, most likely,
some of them, in all likelihood,
continue to grow, continue
to do what such plants do, like house
and feed small and necessary creatures,
like being pleasant to touch and smell,
like converting sunlight
into food, like making it easier
for us to breathe.

"for women who are 'difficult' to love."
you are a horse running alone
and he tries to tame you
compares you to an impossible highway
to a burning house
says you are blinding him
that he could never leave you
forget you
want anything but you
you dizzy him, you are unbearable
every woman before or after you
is doused in your name
you fill his mouth
his teeth ache with memory of taste
his body just a long shadow seeking yours
but you are always too intense
frightening in the way you want him
unashamed and sacrificial
he tells you that no man can live up to the one who
lives in your head
and you tried to change didn't you?
closed your mouth more
tried to be softer
prettier
less volatile, less awake
but even when sleeping you could feel
him travelling away from you in his dreams
so what did you want to do love
split his head open?
you can't make homes out of human beings
someone should have already told you that
and if he wants to leave
then let him leave
you are terrifying
and strange and beautiful
something not everyone knows how to love.
- Warsan Shire

Practicing Winnicott's "good enough" #havingitall #isamyth

I only wish to emphasize, with the utmost fervor, how important it is for a young artist to delay ‘’professionalism’’ as long as possible. Find some way to give yourself a chance – and time – to experiment, take risks, play, fool around, even fail, before trying to launc a career. Show your work only to a few devoted friends. Art schools should be a congenial site for this kind of engagement, and sometimes they are. But, as I have frequently found, art schools also tend to serve as launching pads for careers by fostering the same emphasis on polish and completion that one finds in the art world. Challenge yourself with what ‘’doesn’t work.’’ Know your sources and what influences show up in your work. Don’t worry about originality, but be self-critical, and find ways to accept and deliver supportive criticism among your peers. Don’t get hung up on creature comforts. They can come later. Try to see everything.
From what I can observe of younger artists today, those who are most positive about the state of the art world have banded togheter to form their own cooperatives, for exhibitions well as living and working arrangement. You need one another as never before.
Best of luck,
Yvonne Rainer
New York
