trying a lockstitch sewing awl on the busted seam of my favorite work boots, from a box of vintage leatherworking tools my aunts gave me. It's easier than I expected, and if this repair holds up I'll definitely be using it on more household mending! #awl #repair #leatherwork #mending #shoerepair

My giant summer project is up at Our Saviour's on Chicago! a canvas map mural surrounded by local children's dreams for the world. It's designed to be taken down regularly and knelt around/on for peace and solidarity prayers. More permanent hanging system to come π #kidsart #mural #communityart

Made #liveart this weekend to my friend Kenny's piano improvisations, and tested my supplies in extra heat and humidity π
Inspirations: maple buds amid hazy spring storms, grief and the Malvina Reynolds tune "The World's Gone Beautiful [because it's asking not to die]" #acrylicpainting #mixedmedia
