i think i don’t particularly enjoy this style of writing and i think i have a hard time understanding what hannah is saying to make herself feel good and what is actually vulnerable but interesting and thoughtful and i like the metaphor of a museum

interesting ideas of truth and confession— what value we place on the “truth” and the idea of sex as a secret and as a subconscious….

actually very thought provoking. making me think really hard about the american landscape, the garden of eden, and also what that means in context of america being a settler colonial state. like really fascinating because all contemporary landscape painting in America is forcibly and forever in dialogue with the “first” “native” school of painting and the stealing of the land. really makes you think. like that it included one singular poc artist but that’s actually a super interesting thread i want to research. good jumping off point shoutout to jasper cropsey for gettig me here
