This is the first shoe I made after I decided to begin the project Shoes as Storytellers in 2021.
When I first made it, the sock was solid across the top, it was a bit creepy, like a bone. So I trimmed it off.

I have noticed a lot of the accounts following me are spam or single men. When I first joined the single men would DM me all the time.
Because of this, I have my DM settings set to only allow people I follow to message me.
If you’re broccoli, I’m probably not going to follow you back.

"If you think you're too small to make a difference, try going to bed with a mosquito", painted in 2018.
Yes those are ORANGE feet, if you get my drift.
This quote has been attributed to African proverbs, the Dali Lama, and Dame Anita Roddick.

Lolly’sShoe, 2024
The shoe was originally sculpted from clay, based on images I found online. I later discovered these very clown shoes in the Ringling Museum, Sarasota - Bill Ballentyne’s shoes! I was pretty stoked to see how accurately I was able to cast them in glass.

Still Me, 2022
These shoes represent the story of a Black Air Force officer. How the world sees him when he’s dressed casual vs in uniform.
I posted the whole story in my feed with additional photos. It seems fitting for today, as we remember and honor Martin Luther King Jr.
