quote reads, "As long as we remember the moral tradition that allowed Fannie Lou Hamer to host a July 4th picnic while she battled the fascism of Jim Crow, we have access to the moral resources we need to reconstruct American democracy today." - Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove and William J. Barber, II

image centers on a person, possibly a child, looking out over a colorful sunset/sunrise on a series of hills. they are standing inside a cave that is filled with light, about to begin work on a blank canvas. this image is overlaid with a cross-section of a conch-shell in a spiral shape, with the same image underneath, but multiple variations on color palette as if looking through a stained-glass window. the area surrounding the shell is devoid of color compared with what is covered by and inside it, but contains the same image of the cave surrounding the figure.
art is... iterative. another draft of a piece for my upcoming show, loose stones/museum of me. it aims to be a collection of befriended failures. the final piece is forthcoming.
also: i'm on sabbatical 'til June! i will be mostly working on this - but if you are local to me, let's hang out!
Itβs a coup! Please read or listen to Robert Hubbellβs newsletter!

One part of a draft (it has layers) of "The Reward for Attention is Always Healing." (quote from Julia Cameron). Part of Loose Stones: Museum of Me.
Excited to try this new platform. Also, for any following, I'm knee-deep in my current art project, Loose Stones: Museum of Me. It's a museum/befriending of failures. We'll see if this proves a good place to store information about that. Looking forward to seeing who I can connect with here. :)
