Enjoyed City Lines walk as a part of #openhousedublin today. We thought about sensing and recording the city, then and now. A quick outdoor sketch of the Liberties, outside Guinness

I really enjoyed running a local printmaking workshop with @sarahcomyn.bsky.social
this week in honor of Bloomin’ Crumlin who do so much for their community with cleanups, programming, and plant giveaways. A talented bunch of artists too!

Had a great time visiting with old friends and colleagues in St. Louis to consider the challenges of creative practice as research. We made flag books to work through practices of collaboration.

Had a great time with the team working on creative practice in research culture at UCD.
Our workshop used the rotation of paper flexagons to explore our own goals and hopes for, and barriers to creative collaboration.
Off to a great start!

Intrepid participants then constellated conference keywords by making flexagon and flag books.

Just dismayed to hear from colleagues that these crucial NEH grants and summer fellowships were awarded and are now being yanked. NEH funding shaped my career in essential ways. This is just enraging.

DOGE is reportedly rescinding grants that have already been awarded, thwarting the will of Congress and upending worthwhile projects that improve our lives. It’s yet another authoritarian move to control what people in our country see, say, and think.
