Inside the Magical and Relentlessly Creative World of Beloved Artist Kiki Smith – Artsy

Inside the Magical and Relentlessly Creative World of Beloved Artist Kiki Smith – Artsy:

Over her four-decade-long career, artist Kiki Smith has made sculptures of body parts, tapestries depicting animals and the cosmos, and drawings of wolves and women—a strange confluence of the corporeal and the fantastic, with distinct feminist undertones.

I’m beginning to think going back to a nine to five job may not be the best path for me. There are some personal reasons but more than them is the problems I’m beginning to have problems driving at night and I’m starting to be concerned it won’t be too much longer before it becomes unsafe.
