My purpose as an artist is to heal the divided feminine in our culture. Well, okay wait, that sounds incredibly cheesy and like something a massage therapist might do at Esalen.
This quote encapsulates the complex self-awareness of an artist deeply committed to addressing gender divisions within society. The humor and self-deprecation suggest a recognition of the lofty nature of such goals, paired with a lighthearted acknowledgment of their potential to be perceived as superficial or overly sentimental. It reflects an understanding that artistic activism often involves balancing idealism with humility, reminding us that meaningful change can sometimes start with small, approachable gestures, even if they seem cheesy or trivial at first glance.
