I Am An Artist And A Political

Metaphor Is The Energy Charge That Leaps Between Images, Revealing Their Connections.

A Genuine Left Doesn't Consider Anyone's Suffering Irrelevant Or Titillating; Nor Does It Function As A Microcosm Of Capitalist Economy, With Men Competing For Power And Status At The Top, And Women Doing All The Work At The Bottom.... Goodbye To All That.

Where Else Could One Find Such A Perfect Combination Of American Values -- Racism, Militarism, Capitalism -- All Packaged In One 'ideal' Symbol, A Woman.

My White Skin Disgusts Me. My Passport Disgusts Me. They Are The Marks Of An Insufferable Privilege Bought At The Price Of Others' Agony. If I Could Peel Myself Inside Out I Would Be Glad. If I Could Become Part Of The Oppressed I Would Be Free.

The Present Always Masquerades As A Beginning; Maybe We Couldn't Endure It If We Realized At The Time That It Was A Peak, Or Even An Ending.
