In this crazy age of algos and dating apps, thoughtfully and imaginatively orchestrating gatherings is seriously a gift to humanity. Each special human has an entire beautiful ecosystem of mutual interest and support hovering around them, patiently waiting to be activated

not every project should have to support itself. some projects are lightweight. others are heavy lifters. to want everything to perfectly support itself feels against life itself. life is about dependency and interconnection.

i love collaborating with people. but i feel there is a lot of pressure for these collaborations to be Your Whole Life. there is a lot of pressure to be Legible. and i get it -- there is peace in categorizing. but i think the beauty of being alive is fluidity and roleplay

there is a lot to learn when we study something (that feels important to us, but maybe we can’t explain why) deeply. this could also simply mean returning to it rather than going onto the next interesting thing …

one of the cool things about considering oneself an artist is that any art practice in the history of time becomes a possible model. the "categories" of artists seem to be endless

In Perfume Area: The Alphabet, twenty six special reviews were delicately handpicked as a fragrance grammar and discovery set. Each perfume review, A–Z, is time-sensitive, changing according to the viewer’s local time, and fully blooming in prose for a handful of hours every day.

reminds me of a favorite public art ... by Agnes Denes (1982) “People from all the office buildings came down to visit us and they prayed for gentle rain. That’s exactly what I wanted, the participation and the feeling it created ... Digging deep is what art is all about.”
