(^) Are you
going to the
after-party?
I was going
to go, but I think
I’m too nervous
about my dress
being ruined,
because it has
a pretty serious
trail situation.
(^) What has the
response to your
show been?
People have been
running up to
me crying, saying
this is the first
time they’ve seen
representation
of themselves in
a way that is
reflective of their
realities. It makes
me sad. But
optimistic, too.
(^) What kind of
artist are you?
Multidisciplinary.
Right now, my
inspirations are
mainly primordial
memories I recall
from my existence
before.
