Art is a verb. It is a navigation of meaning and resilience. I art. I ruminate. I seek solidarity. The gist: Colonialism and their impacts are the root of rot. We already regret the times we neglect the climate and each other. And yet, I see beauty.

It has always been more aspirational than truth. But it is the aspiration that allowed us to see the US as having greatness within her. As much as I feel pissy about the barbarity of our nation’s roots, I cling to this. #wheatpaste #LadyLiberty #TheNewColossus #solidarity

Wheat paste!!! Telephone poles and their ruddy texture create challenges for this as a medium for art. But I love that I am posting about posting on these posts. And these posts carry on lines into our homes and communities. They are ours to own.

Sometimes my vanities compete with each other when I like my work. I want share, to resonate. to not be overly prescious, to do what art does, to feel human. I fear losing my voice to the masses, to the noise of it all. Deaf by noise or by silence #thyroid #MedicalIllustration #artistlabnotebook

Went to The campsite yesterday. It has been neglected since Covid. It was lovely to feel the memory of the space. Alder cones swim in the turf around the fire pit where there once was gravel. #sumi-e #artistlabnotebook

Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.

#shodo #kanji for beautiful #etymology : top half is a sheep, bottom is big. So it is a big fat sheep. Ref: Heart of the Brush by Kazuaki Tanuhashi I like this visceral hungry notion of beauty.

2025-02-05 The sumi-e #waterfall is coming along. I have a few(many?) more iterations before I am satisfied. Would it be so bad if I am never done? If every time I sit with the ink it continues to surprise and teach me.. Also this is a test of Bluesky and crop for vert #artistlabnotebook. #art #🎨

Grinding the #sumi stick, I can feel the ki as if flows and builds. I feel like it should be flowing that onto the paper. I lose focus after the first strokes. The energy lingers. Surely others get this too. It feels strange to try and put it in words. #waterfall #sumi-e #artistlabnotebook

Someone left a rose petal trail on the path. It is a lovely bit of #magic to stumble upon. Yesterday was #Imbolc -so perhaps it is related. Happy Spring to all. I followed it just around the bend. The trail turned private. It told me it was not for me.

Trolling the far right by criticizing Nazis out of context is a good tactic. If they were capable of self-reflection their heads might pop with all the cognitive dissonance. (image found on some corner of the internet)
