People/disinfo spreaders complain about Carney being a cofounder of the WEF. False. He was a child when it began in 1971.

Spray varnishing blackout poems for my exhibition. Don’t let anyone tell you that the artist’s life isn’t glamorous. 😏

Lovely project and presentation of it! I also work on gessoed book pages, cut from multiple vintage books.

I think I’d like to finish this found poem for my upcoming show.

I forgot about it amid the chaos of 24/7 caregiving.

I’m kind of amazed how many pieces I managed to create through these years…

I am often leaving my art making until late in the day, when I’m too tired to spend much time at it. This is not helping with the fact that I am quite rusty at drawing. There’s always tomorrow! 😏

"Activists often speak as though the solutions we need have not yet been launched or invented, as though we are starting from scratch, when often the real goal is to amplify the power and reach of existing alternatives. What we dream of is already present in the world."
Part of a page from Hope in the Dark, showing the full paragraph that I've quoted here. I've crossed out "mother" and written "parent".

"Hope locates itself in the premises that we don't know what will happen... in the spaciousness of uncertainty is room to act. ...you recognize that you may be able to influence the outcomes—you alone or you in concert... Hope is... an alternative to the certainty of both optimists and pessimists."

I needed some reading to counter all my doom scrolling, so I was pleased to find Hope in the Dark by @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social at a local library.
The cover of the book: Hope in the Dark Untold Histories, Wild Possibilities by Rebecca Solnit. In the background is another book: Doppelganger by Naomi Klein
