When I was in art school and struggling after testing positive at 25, Wojnarowicz became my patron saint. I even went through a period of sending “emails” to him beyond the grave. One of my favorite pieces of art criticism was analyzing Water (1987.) When I see or read any of his work, I have a moment of melancholy like one might with a past lover, so deep was that emotional connection at that very difficult time.
Yay for David Wojnarowicz!

What a beautiful thing to do.
