ADP: Hey Assumpta, what art world advice would you give to your younger self?
AAD: I would tell her....
♡ Choose relationships that make you feel more like yourself — professionally and personally.
♡ You don't need to perform competence, usefulness, or generosity to deserve closeness.
♡ And finally, trust that there is space for the kind of practice you're building. You don't have to fit neatly into the existing structures of the art.
