"A fellow prisoner, a German soldier, gave Cahun the badges from his uniform. It is one of these, the ‘dirty bird’... she clutches defiantly between her teeth"

Text: After Donald Trump had a 50-foot banner of himself hung from the Dept of Agriculture building, right next to Abraham Lincoln - 3 more banners have mysterously appeared.
5 long banner panels hanging between the Corinthian columns of the Dept of Agricultural building facade. The furthest left is a dark red banner with the well-known black & white photo of Abraham Lincoln in a dark suit, white shirt, dark bow tie, from chest up. All the way to the left is a blue banner with a photo portrait of Trump in a blue suit, light blue shirt with blue tie front chest up and a scowl expression. Someone added 3 more dark banners between Lincoln and Trump. From right to left there is the portrait of Lincoln, the shoulder and upper arm lighted up to appear that Lincoln is holding up his arm. Next continues with his forearm, then third his wrist and hand, with his fist bent to and middle finger extended towards Trump. https://www.instagram.com/p/DJu45tXOBmK/?igsh=aXcwd2gwem4yaDd3

Screenshot of Threads post by emily_jeffords *I follow you for your art. Not politics.* Free expression is political. My voice as a woman is political. My voice as a queer woman is political. Your ability to see my art is political. Your ability to tell me how you would like to edit my voice and content is political. An artists ability to freely make an income with their thoughts and creativity is political. Art is political. From top to bottom. ArtistsOnThreads

I found a potato of Defiance concealing itself among the fruit, pondering its next move... 🥔

Potato of Defiance sits on the black glass surface of a stove. a russet potato with sprouts bursting out of it, resembling arms and punk hair.

A sculpture I finished in 2024 now featured in the online exhibition "Forms and Figures." Made primarily of cardboard, with some thin Lancaster wool for hair. The butterflies are made from Washi Paper, HUUN Mayan Paper.
Photo and QR Code for an online Art Exhibition page. Exhibition: Forms and Figures Artist: Jjenna Hupp Andrews Artwork: Dad, Disappearing Description: Lifesize sculpture of an older man with a cane. He is made our of cardboard with fine white wool for hair. The back of his head is open with yellow and cream colored paper butterflies flying out. There are pieces of cardboard missing in his piecemeal, corrugated cardboard shirt so we can see inside. His pants are smooth cardboard but worn through in areas. There is a cardboard knee brace on his left knee, the same side as he holds his cane. His face is sad and eyes blank. My dad was diagnosed with dementia about one and a half years ago. We had noticed that his memory and understanding had deteriorated over the pandemic lockdown, but it did not register that it was dementia, like his mother before him. This last year has been like he is disappearing before my eyes, both physically and mentally. His body is shrinking in on itself, growing smaller. His past and present blending, thoughts and memories fluttering away, as butterflies in the wind. Made in 2024 74 inches tall

I knew I'd have a hangover from the over-packed day yesterday ... 11am meeting, 1pm dr app 1hr one way, back to campus to finish & photograph Sculpture for a midnight deadline.
Photos taken. Few things yet to refine, but good enough for photos.

You know that moment when you don't fully understand something but you decide to explain it to someone else anyway and as you're bullshitting you suddenly understand your own explanation and your bullshit turns into perceptive truth? that's called bullshitspiration be fearless. it turns shit to gold
