It was such a good party. 😊
A photo of a room with a small TV, a lamp, and a window visible. The white walls of the room are completely covered in splashes, smears, and drips of blood as if a dozen people had been violently murdered in it. Text on the photo reads, "Caption this with the second-to-last text you sent."

A very rusty sign, attached to a tree & covered with leafless grey vines. It says PRIVATE PROPERTY / NO TRESPASSING in brown on brown.

“What people want to replace you with is what they think you already are. If companies, bosses, and boyfriends want to replace you with a robot or an AI model, that’s because they already see you and what you do as simply the workings of a machine with far too many bugs. When we buy into this framing, we lose half the battle. The way out is through the senses.”

Art by me currently on view at Del Ray Artisans in Alexandria (Potomac Yard). 3 pieces of mine are in the show “Second Time Around,” showcasing recycled & repurposed materials.
A small (5”) assemblage of squished metal, bent ladderlike chunks of wire fence, and lacy shredded vine pods on a rust-colored, weathered square of leather.

My goals are obvious…
Louise Bourgeois, looking amused as ever, wearing a jaunty denim cap, some kind of stripey sleeveless polo shirt, and mesh purple sleeves. She is in front of something wooden and leaning her elbows on something (maybe she is perched inside a sculpture or has paused for pix while exploring a haunted mill).

A lovely closing day for the Touchstone show #Collab — I am thinking of entering this baby for another show immediately, so act fast if you want to take it home without a gallery commission. 😁 #rustart #foundobjectart #dcartist #extinctflightlessartscollective #bottledumpfinds
Assemblage art piece made from old leather, rusty barbed wire, a melted glass bottle, a wasp nest. Stuff like that.

Ellie (a beautiful grey mackerel tabby cat) hides her eyes with her paw, secretly desiring the tuna but aghast at the bad manners.
