Written by Bruna

This is one of my favorite books of all time. Not only because it tells us a lot about the 70’s art/music scene (which I love!), but because most precious is the love and sensibility with which she writes about her relationship with Mapplethorpe and her relationship with art itself.

With a very honest and pure recounting of her memories, Patti guides us through her ups and downs, her thoughts, and her desire to find her voice using art.

I got very emotional and inspired by this book, especially being an artist myself and seeing how pursuing art can be hard, but still beautiful, still fluid, still necessary.
