Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in California is not about the protests.

It is about expanding his never-ending grasp for more power. It is about moving this country toward authoritarianism.

All Americans must stand together against this gross abuse of power.

Peaceful protest is the bedrock of our movement.

Thousands demonstrated exactly that – coming together to demand the release of David Huerta and to call for an end to the cruel, destructive, and indiscriminate ICE raids that are tearing apart our communities.

#FreeDavidEndRaids

For those who live elsewhere, this is the heart of downtown #LosAngeles. My friends are here. My union is here (sup @wgawest.bsky.social). My teenager is here. People are passing out pastries & singing & praying. All we want is for our neighbors not to be kidnapped off the streets.

Here are my students' in-progress work using silicone molds and air-dry clay casts 🎨

A few student sketches in preparation for our wood carving and sculpting project 🪵🎨

Here's one of the handmade paper works I made during the winter residency at Penland School of Craft. I taught myself how to weave cast fishing nets by hand, and then I embedded the net beneath handmade abaca paper 🌱

In-progress work in the studio, prepping for the next exhibition ✨️

I'm teaching introduction to sculpture this semester. My students are starting the first project focused on the 3D manipulation of cardboard. The assignment asks them to recreate an object/animal of personal significance in cardboard.
