This a self portrait of the artist David Wojnarowicz. The story of his life played a prominent role in a book that I finished recently by Olivia Laing-“Lonely City”. It was my introduction to his work, and I was fascinated. Last week, one of my social media sites posted that there was an exhibit at the Whitney Museum in NYC of his art, and it was the final week. So happy that I was able to make the trip, inspired by a book. #literaryfieldtrip
