“What’s Art Basel like?” It’s a question I get asked a lot. Mainly because within my friend groups I’m either the only artist, or I’m the only artist who makes it her business to visit the fairs in Miami. My first time making this trip was two years ago. I didn’t...

“My plan was never to get married. I was going to be an art monster instead. Women almost never become art monsters because art monsters only concern themselves with art, never mundane things. Nabokov didn’t even fold his own umbrella. Vera licked his stamps for him.”...
