Kiki Smith on Jackson Pollock
It was revealed that inspirations for Jackson Pollock’s drip paintings came from seeing his father peeing on some rocks.
Kiki Smith’s response to this discovery goes like this:
“They’re talking bout how he was peeing in the snow and this is somehow
where his art came from … that men and their dicks [are] natural
markers … and I was thinking, women are natural stainers, staining
everything in their lives, and that this was an equally creative kind of
mark.”
This idea inspired her work to show women, milk flowing from their breasts, menstrual blood pouring from their vaginas, and a trail of feces following them into a corner that they desperately crawl to.
I think… I’ve found love and appreciation for a contemporary artist.

We were discussing homosexuality because of an allusion to it in the book we were reading, and several boys made comments such as, “That’s disgusting.” We got into the debate and eventually a boy admitted that he was terrified/disgusted when he was once sharing a taxi and the other male passenger made a pass at him.
The lightbulb went off. “Oh,” I said. “I get it. See, you are afraid, because for the first time in your life you have found yourself a victim of unwanted sexual advances by someone who has the physical ability to use force against you.” The boy nodded and shuddered visibly.
“But,” I continued. “As a woman, you learn to live with that from the time you are fourteen, and it never stops. We live with that fear every day of our lives. Every man walking through the parking garage the same time you are is either just a harmless stranger or a potential rapist. Every time.”
The girls in the room nodded, agreeing. The boys seemed genuinely shocked.
“So think about that the next time you hit on a girl. Maybe, like you in the taxi, she doesn’t actually want you to.”Yes! Exactly!
