Everyone Wants, 2023
Everyone Wants, Reed Krakoff and Acrylic, 15”x24”, US Size: Small, 2023
My college professor, Greg Pond, rigorously expressed
“everyone wants to go to heaven but no one wants to die” to our photography class
during a discussion at School of Visual Arts. I recorded, remembered, and recited these words
allowed as a source of empowerment and a very real reminder.
He was expressing the risks associated with the arts industry,
but not to allow or internalize such risks to dissuade or prevent one to reach one’s goals.
Perseverance and willingness to fail are vital. We all want heaven (success) but are
you willing to die for it (fail)? Albert King said “everybody wants to go to
heaven but no body wants to die” before him,
I’m sure that’s where he heard it. Funny how language travels, thanks Greg.
