(2025) Chalk on paper

About

“For years, my drawing teacher gave me the same assignment:
Draw your body and always title it “I won’t complain.”
The assignment and especially the title confused me.
At first, I thought she was out of inspiration.
Or perhaps she thought I wasn’t making any progress?
It was at a party when a friend’s boyfriend, for no particular reason,
began talking about my body. Then, when he asked me what I thought of it myself,
I automatically answered: “I would complain.” ”
