Like so many other creatives of my generation I have been overwhelmingly inspired by Patti as an artist. I was given Patti's book by my best friend while I was spending some time in a psych ward. To call it serendipitous would be an immense understatement. I was dealing with things I barely understood, yet through her book, I found myself reading my own story. From sexuality, to child-father relations and religious trauma, I was gently being shown that "my people" exist and that they were worth finding.

This performance embodies the supernatural stardom that inspired me when nothing else could! To all my artist friends: keep going!
