Now that I’m back on Tumblr and looking back on my posts from 6 years ago has me sad. But also proud? Of all the work I’ve done to not be in such a depressed and dangerous state. I’ve been to therapy now, I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD, I’ve finished school in spite of things, I have a job I could have only dreamed of, a fiancee, a dog. I’m proud of me. ❤️
One woman turned awful breakup texts into art. “I obviously date the wrong people,” Allison Wade said, laughing. The artist behind the Break-up Text paintings, which have been collected in “It’s Not You,” an exhibit at Rick Wester Fine Art through January 10, Wade paints the messages she’s sent and received at the end of various relationships.
Wade’s work has long focused on relationships and modern communication. She’s used found voicemails, is at work on a series about sexts, and is hoping to track down the servers that contain messages from blocked numbers. You can read an interview with her here
