KikiSmith

i loved her work, i hated her work. i am still envious of her work in a way.

I am finding that the stuff i remember her most for, the anatomy works, is the weakest things she made.
I love her in bronze, i guess. hate the drawings with a passion though. and totally dislike it when she makes bodies carelessly.

i remember when she came to give a talk at Parsons. I remember being disappointed. I do not remember exactly why. LoveTheArtNotTheArtist.
