Art and Advocacy

June 1, 2020
It is a challenge to process the events but I want to do my best to stay engaged and informed. I would like to acknowledge my advantages as a young white woman but I don't know exactly what that might look like right now. My hope is to find an art project for myself that will allow me to process and have something to share because it is important to not forget - especially if meaningful change is not created right away. We will have to let go of this current reality that has racism and capitalism too interconnected to be sorted out. There is something new that needs to be created and this might be an opportunity for us to try. I am willing to do my part and be open to learning other people's perspectives. |

How to (re)Connect
May 24th, 2020
Since graduating from college in 2010 I have struggled to find my relationship with the creative process, engage with the art community, and produce work. Over the years I have had many small starts and stops in an attempt to incorporate art into my life in a way that I enjoy and can benefit from. My hope is to try once again and document that in a public space in case other might find it helpful or interesting to see what that experience looks like. Right now is just about setting up my accounts and making regular posts, interactions, and habits to build on that can lead to larger scale projects.
