“Don’t leave me tongue tied, don’t wave no goodbyes”
Paige Bradley created one of the most striking sculptures I’ve seen in recent times. Her masterpiece, entitled Expansion, is a beautiful woman seeking inner piece but fractured and bleeding with light.
“From the moment we are born, the world tends to have a container already built for us to fit inside: a social security number, a gender, a race, a profession,” says Bradley. “I ponder if we are more defined by the container we are in than what we are inside. Would we recognize ourselves if we could expand beyond our bodies?”
aaahh i hate it when you’re sad. i can feel it across the room, the energy shifts - it grows thicker, viscous and grey. but more than this i hate the fact that i am so aware of everything about you. the slightest gesture of your fingers, the most minute tilt of your lips, and i can read you instantly. you are my favorite and least favorite book.
