 Brit cubist in the making? From Ruth Drawing Picasso, Tate Liverpool, 2009 
Marian Goodman Gallery, New York/Paris

There's so much boredom in this photograph. Why is it so important for us to live up to expectations regarding social norms. . .  why does any of that even matter? This photo is gray and gloomy- there is no joy in this child's face. She would rather be naked running in a field of sunflowers on the moon.

A bug is interesting no matter what. They are suuuper small and yet so many human being are terrified of them. Maybe it's because they look so frightening up close. This is a very strange portrait. It creeps me out like crazy.
