The Humble Simple Thing

"The Humble Simple Thing" is a skeleton of a Sheila Heti story, a "cut-up" by the artist Sara Lautman, who also illustrated the text. The opposite of a supercut, which tries to capture everything of a kind, a cut-up winnows a story to its essence. "The piece is about personal standards in one sense, and, if you are making art, outside values placed on your work," said Sara Lautman.
