In my own work I am invested in art as a way to break through impasses, whether those impasses are personal, social, or political.
I haven't made art about Israel. There's a covert subtext of Jewish identity in my artwork.
It's assumed that if you're a woman, you want to be the prettiest version of yourself. It always put me in a bad mood. It was like, "OK, I'm successful. I'm supposed to be happy. Well, why aren't I happy?" Part of the problem was that my looked-at-ness had become a priority over my art making. Over and over again it was like, "I don't have time for this. I want to work." I love writing. I don't love somebody putting false eyelashes on me.
