Collier Schorr 

selections from “There I Was” 2007

[packingtape420]

irony and desire, sensuality and anxiety, attraction and repulsion. It’s about seduction, but it’s also about being critical of the seduction. You’re saying “Yes! Yes!” and at the same time, coolly, “No, thanks.”

from interview w/ Julia Jacquette. 

on loacting myself in the contemporary:

where do I land/who the fuck am i?/ ?? I’ve put too much pressure on work to say everything that I’m thinking about or care about.

instead..Making something to spend time in, similar to the warped and unnamable sense of time I experience. Doesn’t have to be unpleasant or utterly confusing, just malleable. 

Time barely functions as a 20 yr old- I’m just feeling the first effects of time-passage. Present time feels infinite, but I know it is the most fleeting
