So I have an exhibition in Praguenext month (Oct/Nov), which is a collaboration between myself a 3d illustrator called Petra Stefankova. The concept is a feminist one, it cirles around women’s issues but without being too outwardly angry at anyone or anything. I suppose a goodway to send a message is by not alienating anyone, particularly the media and men. So yeah, it is very exciting. I felt the need to share this at 5:30am because this is the very reason I am still up at this time without any sleep, editing images.. pore for pore reconstruction. God, my eyes are heavy – I feel sick and I am about to collapse. My sanity is beginning to dispappear but it is all underlined with complete excitement. However, if you were to see my face right now, you wouldn’t have guessed.

I’ll keep you all informed. .. I may go and die in my bed now.

“I’m different”

“..the most tragic punishment that society inflicts on any second-class group. Ultimately the brainwashing works, and we ourselves come to believe our group is inferior. If we achieve a little success in the world, we think of ourselves as “different,” and don’t want to associate with our group. We want to identify up, not down. We want to be the only woman in the office, or the only black family on the block, or the only Jew in the club.”

This explains why I have always been incapable or committing to any feminist groups and it’s never been my intention to be the ‘only’ black girl within my group of friends, life just turned out that way, but it’s true – you separate yourself from whichever group you’re a part of that is deemed as inferior or insignificant.. or even stupid.  I’m often usually comparing myself to men too.. it’s not something I’m proud of!
