Relationships are artworks to me, as opposed to contracts with the status-quo.

By shifting perspective drastically, we can untangle what is alive, what is appropriate to the present situation, from what is either obsolete, or oppressive.

Transformative justice is my framework of choice: when harm has been done, we can learn about both individual and collective responsibility for what has happened, what reparations can look like, and find ways to improve how we care for each other going forward.

We don't live in a world so absurd because nobody sees the absurdities. We live in a world so absurd because absurdities have a way to outlive their makers. It takes extra solid teamwork to clear them out.

Believing that this quality of relationships, of teamwork, is actually possible, is key.

Art implies creating, step by step, in response to the uniqueness of each situation, and in connection with the whole.

It implies accepting that you probably won’t get what’s happening until it’s done. That the process has ups and downs, that both have value, and that if you let them, people will surprise you.
