Working on a video like a little online exhibition experience.
The work is sort of an examination of how it would feel to reconnect with the 🌎 and live as good stewards with an understanding of how woven into the tapestry of the planet we are.

It’s possible to take a step back from technology and let nature lead the way again, it has a whole hell of a lot more to teach us & in ways that have nothing to do with commodifying it…. My most recent piece.

Photographed one of my pieces in the garden last night… Wonder can spark curiosity, which can lead to knowledge and connection and a more resilient environment when we lean into it.

There are like 17 terrible things happening per hour, but as a gal from Tornado Country, gutting NOAA when we're in the midst of an escalating series of unprecedented weather disasters is an unhinged act. Weather doesn't care where you live or how much money you have, it will fuck you up either way.
NEW: The Commerce Department has begun laying off potentially hundreds of NOAA employees.
Layoffs hit federal climate, weather agency NOAA
The cuts could affect NOAA's weather forecasts, climate research and other functions.

Hello out there, I’m new around here so I figured I’d introduce myself. I’m a mixed media artist working with a combination of materials destined for the landfill & fine art supplies.
