Academia and the art world need a giant overhaul in the way those worlds operate.
It feels tremendously nourishing to share my 26 yrs of weaving knowledge and build community, and make some income to stay above water. Iโm disappointed yet again by the art world and implore galleries and supporters to DO BETTER by their artists. Reciprocity, mutual respect and care. Next commentโฌ๏ธ

The art market currently a dumpster fire and last yr my gallery said โyou need to get a job, we arenโt going to sell anymore of your art this yearโ. So I applied to approx 1000 jobs and nothing happened. I started my own weaving school as a result (see next comment)

My favorite artist of all time, Neko Case has written memoir that I finished today and it was as heart wrenching and beautiful as youโd expect. Itโs titled The Harder I Fight The More I Love you. It ripped my heart open and I canโt recommend it more, especially if you love Nekoโs music.
