About
Signifying and subversion come up a lot in my work and my life. I am interest’d in how they connect – these strategizing tools, these rhythms of relating, these disruptors, these renderers of confusion………. What is the operation of subversion in my own artistic… practice? (?) Can I disrupt m’self into greater c’tr’l? Can I be confused? Like, is that okay?
I am working on being mind-blowing, but ‘m not sure it’s hap’n’n’…
Like,
do you wanna get to know the real me?
