Hey y’all. My sister & I are facing an urgent housing crisis. Because of a major snowstorm, we haven’t been able to work, & now we can’t cover the full cost of our temporary housing for tomorrow. We’re doing everything we can to stay safe, warm, & stable, but we need help to get through this moment.

OPINION: "Most U.S. labor protections—health insurance, paid leave, workers’ compensation and retirement benefits—are tied to full-time, W-2 employment. But few artists work that way. They rely on gigs that don’t fit neatly into existing systems," Joanna Woronkowicz writes.

'In the winter garden' - my favourite geometric garden aerial that I've ever done! I don't remember if I shared it here or not yet - it has camellia bushes in the centre and beds of winter heather and hellebore :) the geometric landscapes are always more challenging and I love that! #embroidery
