ID: A roundup of quotes from an interview with writer and photographer Tall Milk that read…
Slide 1: “[The hardest thing about making my way in the world as an artist is] having no time to make my art because I need to make money, comparing myself to others, and having no connections or nepotism powers to get my art seen in order to make real money off of it.”
Slide 2: "It’s hard for me to think of overall visions because that leads to unmet expectations and disappointment, so it’s easier to think of small goals and actions, like deciding to take just one photo.”
Slide 3: “I usually avoid, procrastinate, then get sad about it.”
Slide 4: “I don’t think I will ever fully recover from trauma, but being able to have some kind of artistic practice gives me a sense of self worth that keeps me, at the very least, from self harming and, at most, connects me to a larger sense of community and purpose.”
Slide 5: “Making art is necessary in order to cope with life.”
