“She’s (Jodie Whittaker) so inclusive, she never leaves anybody out. I’ve learned so much from working with her. Jodie’s been in the business for ages and I think it’s so easy to just walk in and do your own thing, but she’s still so polite and friendly to everyone. “Another thing: Jodie’s very eco-conscious. She knows that on set you get through loads of coffee cups, so she bought everyone reusable cups to help the environment. She came into my trailer and was like, ‘I bought you a little present so we don’t have to keep using cups. Also, this one’s non-drippy.’ She had water in it and she turned it upside-down to demonstrate, but she’d left it open so it all came out!” Mandip laughs at the memory.”
Patricia Cronin, Memorial to a Marriage, carrara marble (installed at Woodlawn Cemetery, Bronx, NY), 2002
In Memorial to a Marriage, Patricia Cronin disrupts the cemetery. Installed ‘for eternity’ in New York’s necropolis, Cronin and her partner lie entwined upon a modern mattress among the memorials to the partners in and products of state sanctioned heterosexuality. By taking anticipatory revenge, Cronin out-manouevres the reality that she and her partner, Deborah Kass, could not be recognized as a family in the eyes of the American state at the time the work was made. “If I can’t have it in life,” says Cronin, “I’m going to have it in death.”
when your adhd makes you take risks in your life and you know it has the great capability to tremendously pay off if you’re lucky but you’re also struggling with constant anxiety so you second guess everything you do to the point where doing anything at all scares the shit out of you and ultimately makes you depressed
AD/HD: Take the risk! Live your life!
Anxiety: Was that the right risk though? Have you ruined everything??
