thank you!

part of the idea here is to find other ways of relating to the weather that are not based on numericity. we realized how every cyanotype is already a record the sun, and that the most intense renderings are usually capturing extreme weather (extreme sun, rain, or wind).

aw, thank you! it has been really rewarding to teach.

one of the more surprising developments when we were making the dye was how some of the roots really wanted the water, rather than really wanting to release pigment (which is what we thought would happen when heated). here's the alkanet:

it was rewarding, and an extremely fragrant experience. here's the wheel of color we have so far. all plant-based. the lighter blackberry is the vine, and the darker is the berry.

both poems and plants have the capacity to teach us about slow, transformative color and movement. i'm super pleased that i am able to do this work with students--to be slow and deliberative about processes of transformation.

on research and visioning, i am the author of two books:

i am still here listening and learning about the world that way. i am also a researcher, writer, and wild dreamer re: environment, computation, datafication, disability, care, creative visioning on what worlds we can make together from the refuse of this one. that’s what i’ll try to share here.
