    So trippy. I had dropped a gummy and stumbled into her "Gleaming Lights of the Souls" while visiting the Louisiana Art Museum in Denmark. I was the only person in there. It felt like a dream, almost a nightmare. Kind of haunting, but in a good way.

    She self-described herself as suuuper racist throughout her life. The kind of racist you pick up by being near americans and american propaganda. She apologized in 2023 for the pain her views caused FWIW

    Now I wonder what it would be like to go inside of a mirrored sphere wearing a glow in the dark jumpsuit...
