a text message exchange I had with Liz Whitehead, one of the Co-Directors of Fabrica Gallery:
Susan: I love your hopefulness. It's rubbing off on me.
Liz: You have to be hopeful if you are running a publicly funded arts organisation.
Susan: Yes. I guess so.
Liz: I guess artists need to be even more optimistic.
Susan: Yes! The question is: how to show it.
Liz: By expecting the best of people every time. My experience is that most people respond to it positively.
