Quilt top 1 is finally finished. All dyes and pigments were extract from plants, the yarn, the fabric, the printing ink. I grew and harvested the seeds. And beads all came from a variety of places in West Africa.

this is exactly what i’m getting at when i see these people have no understanding of civil society. they do not seem to conceptualize other people as having agency whatsoever.

Rewatching “The Photograph” (with Issa Rae and LaKeith Stanfield) and they talking about rappers and it’s hilarious now 5 years later. They talking about Kanye not caring about “us” no more, Drake and his feelings, and Kendrick and how he makes folks feel guilty. 😂😂😂😂

(3) And 2. Cotton is an African plant. We were working with and building relationship with cotton hundreds of years before colonization. So when we begin to think of decolonization, we need to remember that that begins with how we interact with our history.

(2) Although Bl@ck Americans have a complicated past with cotton, that can all be alleviated by remembering a couple things. 1. The PLANT ain’t never did nothing to us. In fact it’s a plant we interact with daily via our clothing, linens, cleans materials, medicines, etc.

Imagine my delight when I found a package full of cotton seeds in my mailbox. As a seed keeper I hope to acquire an extensive collection of a variety of ancestral plants. (1)

Black cover with large yellow text that says the book title: “James”. Below that white text that says the author’s name: “Percival Everett”. On the bottom line there is aqua text that says: “Pulitzer prize finalist”
In the background there is a mysterious sky with a full moon over a black house with yellow windows. Above the house and in front of the full moon is an image of light skinned Black woman from 1962. In the foreground, in large red letters are the title: “This Cursed House” and the author’s name: “Del Sandeen”. Between the title and author’s name is the tagline: “Some things are best left buried.”
There is an image of a black book with the title in white, medium sized text that says: “Figuring History” in large yellow orange letters is the name: “Robert Colescott”. To the right is a small image of his painting: “George Washington Carver Crossing the Delaware: Page from an American History Textbook. Below that in large blue letters is the name: “Kerry James Marshall”. To the left is a small image of his painting: “School of Beauty, School of Culture”. On the bottom in large magenta letters is the name: “Mickalene Thomas”. To the right is a small image of her painting: “Tamika sur une chaise longer avec Monet”.
Thought I’d start sharing what I’m reading (consistently) and since it’s a new app, I’ll be consistent over here. I read nearly exclusively Black, but I’ve been expanding a bit to other POC (primarily WOC) authors. But it’s February so it’s going to be ALL Black. Here’s what’s going on this week.

Background features Orange dyed textured fabric with various symbols and patterns in dark blue, with off white embroidery and beads. In the foreground there is a figure made of indigo dyed fabric, with seeds from various plants embroidery into its hair. Half of the hair is still unbraided and in an Afro, and the braiding of the seeds is in process.
I suppose I oughtta start posting, huh? I’m a fiber artist that practices tradition of natural dye and pigments. my work focuses on the resilience of Black Americans and how we continue to survive, and even thrive, despite everything thrown at us.

I felt like it was so in alignment with my life and it makes me feel encouraged that I’m making the right steps to survive the future.
