artists statement

uhg.

I remember these best when I am painting 

“There is no better exercise for the would-be artist than to study and devour a picture, and then, without looking at it again, to attempt the next day to reproduce it,” said Churchill.

ÄSIN
AZIN
This is a name I made up for myself, I think this is my name.
White goddess 
where is your white goddess being 
I watched they weren't interested in me
She was the same
She was the same as me
In show and tell
I watched the car man and the green soldiers
I grew my hair into dreads so that I could stop the revelation (to me) of her androgynous manhood when I placed my head in her lap
But in her I identified
ÄSIN
The car man and the green men raped her everytime we came alone the three of us
White child
It was like I didn't exist
But in her I identified and have grown to identify
