“In tribute to #Slavic #embroidery, these #tufted and #satin photo banners contain protective symbols for the #ClimateCrisis, one for each station on the wheel of the year and in tribute to the circular kolo (“wheel”) dance.”

I had planned to relaunch in 2026, but everything in January has slowed me down. I’m sticking with some exhibit and event shoutouts until things slow down a bit.

Hello Readers!
I'm taking a pause for the rest of 2025 to focus on a few new opportunities, including my McKnight Fellowship at Minnesota Center for Book Arts. I plan to return to publishing in 2026, and in the interim, might post some brief posts to Bluesky as I get out to exhibitions.
