Proximity-“from Middle French proximité "nearness" (14c.), from Latin proximitatem (nominative proximitas) "nearness, vicinity," from proximus "nearest, next; most direct; adjoining," figuratively "latest, most recent; next, following; most faithful," superlative of prope "near"”

A word that keeps returning so I thought I’d stick it here. Thinking about the closeness between bodies- how with the presence of some particular people can make your skin hum just being near them- becoming electrictrified in their presence. And contrastingly how you can be far from someone and feel them near/ all around you- a connection felt as if touching through planes of consciousness.

Neci was asked to embody the Rosie the Riveter in her own way. We like what she gave us way better!

“There are people who think that we cannot rule ourselves because the few times we tried, we failed, as if all the others who rule themselves today got it right the first time.”
