You
have Saru going from fear-based
to power-based. Culber came
back to life, so it’s
Culber and Stamets having
to realize who they are to
each other. Tilly is realizing
herself in this new way, separate
from her mother. Then, obviously,
Burnham had all these cornerstones
of shame taken down one by
one. Spock realized the balance
between being Vulcan and being
human at the same time. Michael
helped him realize that, and
he helped her realize herself.
There's all this self-actualization,
and I love that we're finding
ourselves as a family and
as a crew.
How
cool, weird and Star Trek-y
was it that your husband,
Kenric Green, is your father?
SMG:
It was the best thing ever.
I tell you, we never in a
million years would have imagined
that would be our connection
in this story. It's wild,
it really is, but we were
very moved by it. Even though
he was only on the show for
such a short period of time,
he is forever solidified in
canon as my father; I am his
namesake. He will always be
there. We felt that that opportunity
was so huge, so, I love it.
We both love it.
Although
we didn't work together, we
had a lot of fun. It's just
such a funny thing to say
that my husband is my dad.
Given
how “Such Sweet Sorrow,
Part 2” played out, there
must have been a lot of tears
on the set, right?
SMG:
There were a lot of tears,
because these are people that
have been with us — in
many cases — from the
very beginning. There were
so many goodbyes, and so I’ve
got to shout out all of them.
All of our Trek family, family
forever.
Looking
to season three, what do you
hope to explore as Burnham
continues to evolve?
SMG:
Well, in a perfect world,
I'm hoping for a balance;
that very same balance we
saw Spock find, that Saru's
trying to find, that all the
other characters are trying
to find.
I'm
very excited for it because
when you pick up with Michael
Burnham, [she's] this Vulcan-Human.
I have this image I have built
up, and it is made of diamonds.
It's almost impenetrable,
these defenses I've put up
as I've been overcompensating
and seeking absolution. [I'm]
being driven by shame and
guilt and needing to prove
myself. That's where you picked
up with me, at the beginning
of this show. So, what I love
is that you see this outpouring
of emotion in season two,
because the pendulum has swung
the other way. Now I've really
connected with my humanity
like never before. So now
it's time for us to swing,
and swing, and swing, and
swing until it gets to the
middle and we find this balance.
That
balance is something I'm going
to be working on for some
time to come, and that's what
I'm really excited to find.
I'm excited for the freedom
that is to come for Michael
Burnham, as well, now that
I'm not driven by shame. All
these things have been plucked
out and uprooted, so now I
have the freedom to be who
I am.

t
the heart of Julie Mehretu’s
paintings is a question about the
ways in which we construct and live
in the world. Perhaps that is what
makes the work so radical: its willingness
to unravel the conventionally given
answers about the violent environment
we inhabit today. Mehretu’s paintings
are composed of layers, fragments
and movements. One can often detect
the detritus of characters, architectural
drawings, graffiti, comic books, air-brushing,
and ink wash circulating in the space
of her paintings. These fragments
are not the broken parts of total
languages, they are part of a process
of describing the world: they come
together as they fall apart. Typically,
Mehretu begins these paintings by
imposing a plan that will dictate
the composition, then responds to
these outlines with architectural
drawings. Gestural marks inhabit those
spaces: they act on and are acted
upon by the built space of the painting.
Some of Mehretu’s recent paintings
quote from stadium plans and the architecture
of mass sport. We share this interest
in the conjoined genealogies of modernity
and the sports stadium and the ways
in which contemporary experience is
mediated by a scopic regime that was
historically shaped in such arenas.
To look at what is happening in the
paintings is to be aware of the feeling
of being inside and outside of a thing.
