There's certainly been lots of uncertainty in the world lately and I know that does not make art a priority, but I'm still here making things. These are a few of my one-of-a-kind raku vessels currently available and if you could help me find them a home with a like or share, I'd be grateful 🙏

As a person with degrees from Harvard and Columbia, my feelings about the two institutions are only diverging over time. One said yes to fascism, one said no. It really is that simple. How much is it worth to be known forever as standing on the right side of history? Resist, resist, resist!!

A new technique could eliminate #quantum backaction noise in optical traps, allowing a particle to remain suspended in space undisturbed. There’s just one catch. For the technique to work, the particle needs to become invisible. 🧪⚛️ physicsworld.com/a/quantum-ef...

Considering that the rate of sepsis increased in Texas women as a result of draconian abortion laws, this cartoon is very relevant. Women still have to fight for their right to bodily autonomy and the right to make private medical decisions that impact their health and their family. This resonates.♀️
