Lately, I've been working on a concept I'm calling "I know, but I do it anyway" and have really enjoyed thinking about how the work is leading me to more acceptance. Too often we/I think how if only folks would have more awareness or education or time they would be more apt to make better decisions. I imagine the proletariat throwing off their proverbial shackles and rising up, but maybe we know and we make the same harmful/self-indulgent decisions anyway. Sometimes though we know something but another part of identity isn't able to comfortably allow this new knowledge to be acted on. Maybe it's this internal conflict that makes it impossible to be outside of a "I know, but I do it anyway" performance. Or maybe this is a way for me to ignore the need to change and if I do it through an art series it becomes a legitimate possibility.
