Patti Smith’s Just Kids is an exploration and celebration of the specific moments in which the author provides insight into her development as an artist. As such, the aim of this blog is to connect Smith’s concepts of and experiences with personal development to other artists, locations, and archival works. Moreover, these various media both reflect and work against Smith’s experiences to create a new conceptualization of how artists strive to reach creative maturity.
