COUPLES THERAPY: PART I
NOBODY FUCKING TOLD ME
Nobody told me that I would have to move into a closet
Nobody told me that I would have to care
Nobody told me that your pain
Would be my cross to bare
Nobody told me that I would have to normalize smelly farts
And that my body would become a dart
Bored
And that shots would be fired
All
Of
The
Time
Nobody told me that I would have to let you know what time I would be home for dinner
Nobody told me that I even had to eat dinner
Or cook dinner
Or think about dinner
Dinner
Let’s go to a diner Nobody told me to tiptoe to the pantry when embarking on a binge
Nobody told me to wipe my mouth before the guests walked in
Nobody
Fucking
Told
Me
Artist
奥斯汀·韦纳1989年生于美国迈阿密，曾在密歇根大学和帕森斯设计学院学习摄影，现工作居住在洛杉矶。
韦纳运用的艺术媒介包括炭笔、建筑涂料、油画和油画棒，多样的画面表现出其充满斗志且无畏挑战的性格。从小幅纸本到大幅的布面绘画，韦纳的作品旨在表达主观意识的二元性：浪漫且带有一丝排斥，独立并极具表现性。画面的流畅性更体现了一种平衡，处于艺术家的自省，以及她对历史与当代文化的研究之间。从日复一日的涂鸦、写作、摄影和绘画中进行延伸，韦纳将自己的身体作为画笔，在严谨的创作过程中连接情绪与行为。她的抽象作品从当代人的超现实具象环境中脱引而出，以时代指示性的视角，表达了对当前社会与女性处境的本能反应。
