what is art?
based on a treatise by lev Tolstoy
I think art, if anything, is more powerful than a lot of stuff, especially photography. I think photography, a lot of the photography I grew up with was like documentary photography, like of the Holocaust. You know, I saw the hair, I saw the shoes, I saw the rings, I saw the suitcases, Anne Frank’s school portraits, and that to me is more powerful than some manifesto or some, you know, treatise or dissertation or something, or even some speech, some impassioned plea about humanity and evil and stuff like that. I’ve been to Auschwitz and Birkenau and I saw it eventually with my own eyes, but decades later after I had thought about it all the time since some exhibit at the local museum at my hometown of Holocaust photography. I almost regret going to the camps, I just… I couldn’t decide if it was right or wrong and I just went. I walked through the gates.. “labor will make you free…”. Some twisted joke.
When I was in journalism school, and I didn’t end up studying journalism, but I took some journalism courses and ethics courses, and I saw, I had a lot of, you know, we talked a lot about this concept of, like, trauma porn and poverty porn through
photography and photojournalism and ethics of how to take those photos and portraits, really, more than, they’re still documentary, but they’re more portraiture of people who consented to have their photos taken, and, you know, you can get a lot of information from a dilapidated home in Appalachia or, you know, some hoarder in, you know, the Bible Belt or, you know, some, you see Hollywood, but then you, you see, you know, little Mexican neighborhoods full of, sometimes it’s very stark, it’s like image of like a person without a car, like trying to traverse Hollywood or Los Angeles, and it’s like, that’s, maybe it’s not like a cold winter in Vladivostok or somewhere in Siberia, maybe it’s actually quite hot out there, but it’s like… It’s still sort of hostile to human life, like maybe there’s food, but it’s, you know, a lot of it’s like junk food, a lot of it’s, you know, economically it makes sense at the time, but over time it doesn’t make sense, and over time in terms of your health, it certainly doesn’t. Not that health food keeps you alive forever, or even keeps you healthy
and if you need it but can’t afford it and get caught stealing, you’ll go to jail and pay a fine higher than the sandwich and the soda, and if you can’t pay it you’ll spend the night in tax payer funded county jail and given something to eat. and if you’re homeless you just gotta hope someone offers you their leftovers or gives you a buck, that enough people give you a buck
doesn’t make sense. And, you know, these sort of cement structures, pavement as far as the eye can see, and, you know, that’s sort of what we
look, that’s sort of what Fresno looks like, even though objectively, ostensibly it’s some fruit basket of the world where produce comes from. It’s like you’ll be driving and it’s just pavement and concrete and pavement and concrete and pavement and concrete and then, oh, there’s an orchard, and then you drive by and it’s gone and, you know, so it’s like, you know, photography was, like, really important to me, creative writing about what it’s like to be people, quite frankly, it was poetry or essays more than some dissertation or some news article, really. It was just people’s personal stories about being between identities or mourning somebody or wanting to get out of some place or, you know, that kind of thing that really inspired me. Even some literary journalism, I remember a lot of the literary journalism I read in high
school. I used to read anthologies and so it just really interested me that, like, journalism could be like literature and it could be approached with a writerly instinct of a fiction writer and, you know, someone could carefully set a scene and pick their words and images, and it’s not necessarily manipulation, it’s not necessarily fake. It’s real and it’s just, it’s just more interesting to read and more. More of a story than some sort of, you know, inverted pyramid or whatever, however they write news articles, who, what, when, where, why. And a lot of the articles I remember and the
photos I remember were of sick people, you know, some journalist approached some person dying of AIDS or some person with some horrible like degenerative illness and just wrote about what their life was like and it wasn’t romantic, you know, and it wasn’t heroic and it didn’t necessarily have a moral. It was just sort of like this deserves to be recorded. People deserve to see this part of life with the consent of the subject, you know, and some of the photos were really brutal. I mean, people’s bodies deteriorating, a 20 or 30 year old who looked 80 if not like a corpse, people’s stuck in beds attached to machines, families or friends surrounding them that aren’t doing anything because you can and do reach a point where to answer Chernyshevsky and Lenin’s “What is to be Done?”, the answer is nothing. They’re just sort of laying in bed, laying in wait, loved ones sitting there with them, just there. And so I think like that’s a form of art that’s really interesting and I’ve always been, um, I’ve never really been attracted to like
landscape painting or Baroque art or rococo or any of that stuff, any of the classic fine art. I’ve been more into Dadaism and Kazimir Malevich,
suprematism, black square, these sort of strange primitive, you know, looks like anybody could do it, and maybe anyone could, its not some elite knowledge or skill or “gift,” but it’s actually there’s a lot of thought and skill behind it whether or not it’s any “good.”
And the Tracy Emin sort of female rage, you know, multimedia, mixed media, not limited to any one medium, self-portraiture, quilts about, you know, being, not being a mother, not being chosen as a wife or a woman and, you know, struggles with sexuality, struggles with men
. And she was not, you know, she was not like a super like high femme woman. She was quite sort of… Androgynous-looking, if not highly masculine, yeah, she was working in these forms that are, you know, quilts or, you know, talking about loneliness and motherhood and all these things,
and drawing little rudimentary sketches of birds and bodies and brokenness and that kind of thing. So I think these, I think these, I think art and journalism and literature and all these things, photography, it’s less
about some sort of like having a solution, it’s less sort of of some sort of like proposing a policy, it’s just sort of like posing questions. There’s rhetorical questions that arise from a
lot of this. A lot of it, it’s rhetorical. It’s not necessarily saying, like, I have the answer, this is the answer, or it’s just, wow, some people live like this. Why does this happen? Where does this come from? Can we fix it? And if so, how? Can we agree on how to do that? Is this, you know, does this person have dignity? Should all people have dignity
? Wow, this person seems really lonely. Poor, sick. How could this happen? You know, how could this happen on a small scale? How could this happen on a large scale? Where was all the
oversight, you know? So I just think there’s that art. I don’t know that it’s necessarily, like, life-changing, but I think it’s, you know, creates movements
. Like, look at Dadaism, Mayakovsky’s zaum. and it asks you, like, can art be something that you find? Can art be something that you put together as a collage? Can art be… You know, a sink or a toilet or something, that if you say it’s art, it’s art. Who says yes or no? you know, it’s like, I don’t even necessarily agree with all of it, but it’s just
, I like people who ask questions and I like people who ask, like,
well, why, well, why, well, why… well why not?

“Circle Round…”
I used to work on a children’s storytelling podcast. Stories from all over the world. Traditional stories, myths, oral history. All had some life lesson in a fun story. Adventure, talking animals. Faraway places. We even had parents send voice memos of their kids talking about the stories, what they liked best. What they learned or wanted to know more about.
I’ve always loved stories, books.
My mom used to read to me all the time. Somewhere there’s a picture of me and her on a bed. My dad took it. She’s showing me a big soft fabric book, an alphabet book. A moment captured. My introduction to the world of letters and words.
As a kid I used to have a tape recorder, a lavender purple one called a TalkGirl modeled after the silver-grey TalkBoy used in the Home Alone films. I used to put my stuffed animals and dolls in a circle and ask them what they thought of certain books. Kids books. I’d ask their review. I did all the voices. Goodnight Moon, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. Strawberry Shortcake, Rainbow Fish, The Giving Tree. Lots of books about sounds and letters and phonics and learning to read and talk.
And lots of books about sharing, giving what you have away. Sometimes, too much. Sometimes until there’s nothing left. As a kid, maybe as a parent, it seems like a good message. What could be wrong about giving and sharing? We don’t talk enough about when to stop. When to be shared with, how to ask for what you need, how to know when to stop sharing with a particular person, when sharing becomes taking. I look back and think — these stories sound nice, but are actually sad.
A Rainbow Fish who gave all his pretty shiny scales away so the plain fish could all have at least one. A Giving Tree that loved a boy and gave him everything he had — wood, leaves, shade, until he was just a stump that couldn’t even provide shade. Just a place to sit.
“And the Tree was not happy.”
Shel Silverstein.
Even growing up, I loved kids. I used to do Bible camp every summer, and eventually was old enough to volunteer to be a teacher’s aid. I loved doing crafts with the little kids the way the big kids used to do for me. I liked preparing snacks of orange Goldfish crackers and pouring little wax cups of apple juice. I liked keeping watch during nap time. During recess, I didn’t like games as a kid, and didn’t like them as a volunteer either. I never figured out the rules and l didn’t like running. As an older kid, the little quiet kids seemed to feel safe with me. The little quiet children would come to me. I didn’t yell at them instructions or make them run in the hot summer heat. Just sit in the grass. Talk. Look at other kids. Rest.
When I first moved to Cambridge, one of the first things I did was join the public library. Got my library card. When I graduated in 2019, I wanted to volunteer. Maybe propose some workshops, just fun things to share of what I’ve learned. Skills people might find handy or useful. Lots of elderly people don’t know how to use technology and the internet, smart devices.
But what I wanted most was to read to kids. Like my mom used to read to me, like I used to read to my stuffed animals.
I’d hold the picture book up and show it to the small group, making sure everyone got to see the pictures. Maybe I’d do funny voices and make kids laugh. “You’re so silly!” I could hear them say. Something nice and slow and quiet, but fun and useful. Safe, a little magic maybe, depending on the story. Learning, discovery, answering questions about the world. Like I wanted to do as a journalist and professor, but in a smaller way. And maybe even more important. Their little minds still so impressionable.
I wouldn’t read Rainbow Fish and The Giving Tree.
But the pandemic happened and volunteer events and programming were suspended at the library, and I left in 2022 when things were just starting to come back to life.
I thought as I saw this little illustration, “I can’t get to a library. Too far and I’m too weak and in pain to sit upright and put a smile on and do a funny voice. But I wish I could read books and stories to kids at the library.”
And then I realized … I don’t think I could. I don’t think I could read to someone else’s children.
