Collage made from cut carpet squares and felt pads glued together.

A fun little experiment made with carpet squares, felt and paint. Looking forward to adopting these materials into my larger work.

My piece “Kinda Blue” hung up in its new home. Love seeing this piece displayed with such beautiful lighting which brings out every layer.

Mount Holyoke College President Danielle Holley:

"If it’s government saying you have to think in the way that we think, then I think the question is really to see them in court. ... Attacks on the university are one of the first places where people start when they want to attack democracy."

🧵1/2

If you're scooping up students off the street for writing op-eds, you're secret police, and should be treated accordingly.

Screenshot of a Guardian opinion article titled "The US is poised to use terror laws against students. This could be worse than McCarthyism" by Thomas Anthony Durkin and Bernard Harcourt. The subheading mentions a new task force investigating support for Hamas, paving the way for a legal strategy targeting free speech.

“Sentencing guidelines call for 20 years to life in prison.”

For those catching up: the U.S. government is now explicitly considering the use of anti-terrorism laws—originally designed for foreign combatants—against college protesters.

This is a horrifying, all-out assault on dissent.

New piece sitting on the easel. Still have a little ways to go!

Nearly 1,000 people marched in the snow from the State House in Boston to City Hall, chanting “Elon Musk has got to go” and “No kings on Presidents Day!” The temperature was below freezing with wind chills in the teens.

Young people set fire to Nazi flag in Ohio.

Police direct neo-Nazis to leave, as angry crowd pushes through police barricade.

Police tried to protect a small group of armed neo-Nazis from angry community members today on a freeway overpass in #Ohio, people managed to push through police as the Nazis escaped in a box truck.

Young people then set fire to a stolen Nazi flag.

Join us this Sunday from 3-5pm for the opening reception of Paint / Cut / Stitch / Fold.

Opening February 9 and running through February 28.

Scheduling change! Due to the snow, we’ve postponed the reception for the emerging artists show I curated to Saturday from 6-8pm. Please join us at this new time and help us to spread the word.

Worked on this incredible show of Jo Sandman’s work last year at @brickbottomartists.bsky.social

Hollis Taggart is pleased to present its first solo exhibition of the American artist Dorothy Hood (1918-2000) while announcing its representation of her estate alongside McClain Gallery of Houston, Texas.

A bold black-and-white sticker with capitalized text reading, "THE ONLY DANGEROUS MINORITY IS THE RICH." The sticker is placed on a metal pole covered in graffiti and scratches, positioned next to a textured blue brick wall. The statement is a striking political message critiquing wealth inequality, blending seamlessly into the urban environment.
