I read many artist statements. My advice is keep it simple. Write how you talk; maybe share how you knew you were an artist; never oppose the words nature & culture: or say your work “can’t be put into words;” or that it’s a “problemizing” or “troubling” of anything. Do it today!

“A Poet’s Work” powerfully conveys the continuing resonance of Gwendolyn Brooks’s work, activism, and support of Black poets, artists, and publishers. hyperallergic.com/717186/gwendol…

Artists: It takes constant discipline and vigilance to be and remain free. Be ever on the lookout for the world and your inner demons to tempt you otherwise. And when they do tempt you, remain free. You are freedom machines.

Remembering Sam Gilliam of the Astral Plane who took painting to its outer banks, creating tabernacles to fearlessness & radicality. Hung from the ceilings & walls, they looked like canvas mountains or gigantic tents and huts, marching cities on the plain. vulture.com/2022/06/rememb…

The artists of Atelier 17 revolutionized printmaking and redefined gender identity and artistic achievement in the 1940s and ’50s. hyperallergic.com/560448/the-wom…

Artists: When it comes to your work, use whatever works for you: Materials, media, platforms, scale, tools, techniques, colors. delivery mechanisms, old models or new ones - use it. Beauty is what works.

Artists: Don’t be silly gooses getting about “not having an idea” for a work. You actually have 100 ideas for every single work. You could make 100 works from the one idea. You just have to get to work you big babies. Idea can’t solve themselves & they’ll pass if you don’t act.😘

Artists: You do know, don’t you, that your mistakes are your style.

Artists: Your work is unfinished until the moment that it leaves or is taken from your premises. I often add or take away huge bits one-minute before I file it. Things that just happen and become the thing itself.
