fell in love with another pop artist at the museum today. she uses casts of her face in so many of her sculptures and i think it’s so personal in like an abstract way that speaks to the soul. #idk i’m just a pop art fan

legend, goat, icon. If there’s someone I’m never going to stop giving flowers to until the day I die no matter how annoying it gets, it’s Marisol. And maybe Larry David but that’s another rec. To describe her art practice in a few sentences would be to butcher its true mission, as I think is true of most art practices, but to not try at all would be even worse. She created to understand herself, her place in the world. Her style was a hard-fought-for realization of her personality. A mix of pre Colombian folk art, classic sculpture, and the Pop Art scene that was happening around her, the works feels futuristic and ancient at the same time. Honest work, funny work, confounding work. And when she was at the height of her recognition in the 60s, all anyone wanted to talk about was her being hot and a friend of Warhol. Then everyone stopped talking or caring about her. Also when she was at her career peak, she went by 1 name like LeBron or Rihanna. Absolute legend. I’ll never forget seeing her sculpture “Love” for the first time in an Art History lecture. RIP to the goat

I’m partial as one of her muses but her work resonates with me.

from her matthew marks show last year. this isn’t even an A+.. A- zone imo. she’s on my mind 2-3 hours a day.
portals and gradients and landscapes and imperfect lines and curvature
also a fan of her little balloon motifs

i think it’s been like 5 years since i last baked a cake (or anything tbh) but that used to be my favorite thing to do… i need to tap back into freedom of being 14 years old and not having anything to do on weekends but bake some random shit

i don’t care what we’re doing. we could be sipping tea together. reading on two separate ends of the couch. hiking in silence. just existing and being together
