Working 2000

I find them quite irritating for what they are, but I needed to make a statement. I felt like I was drowning, and I needed to say something. I see almost a “confused intellect” – I don ’t see them as particularly aesthetic, but about working out my process... almost 20 years of working out... – SMW paraphrased by MH.

“‘Can a man’s work every be serious like a woman’s?’ – there we go with Venus envy, among other things… I gave all these people credit I didn’t even like. Why did I include Madelenie Berchemer’s name? I got all intimidated because she was more successful than me…” – SMW paraphrased by MH.

Meeting – 12.04.20. “At times we are much more generous with other genders. Are we expecting more from the category we identify with? We need to be willing to be more generous. I was walking through a tunnel in Paris having this conversation. [My] friend was much more critical of any whiff of homo-nationalism.” – MH.
