Over the next few weeks, I will be sharing a series of essays that delve into the work of art: the labor behind making art and what art does and does not reveal about this labor.

I wrote this to better understand my own life choices and struggles.

What follows is an exploration into what it means to be an artist in America in the age of capitalism.

Together, we’ll discover what it means to value our work for ourselves and without playing into the market.

I hope you will come out feeling that, while the reality is that most of us are working class in a capitalist world, there is still a way to do this labor and maintain artistic integrity.
