Reinstalled my first alphabet art piece at the newly-renovated Saline District Library yesterday, with the friend who first helped me install it 20-some years ago! I picked it up last June as they were starting renovations, cleaned and cleaned it, conserved a few letters and she was RTG! #alphabet

Truman issues an executive decree establishing a sweeping loyalty investigation of federal employees." Trump is purging workers & trying to erase people of color.

Another of my wall sculptures in my new show at WSG Gallery in Ann Arbor...this is called Fissure, made from repurposed materials, except the nails. I make sculpture that creates dynamic shadows against the wall. I think of these shadows is drawings that happened because of the light interaction.

Canadians spent eight minutes in silence yesterday in support of women in America that have lost their rights. Imagine if we did this ourselves for our own.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

#makersmARTch I used LOTS of #pins to hold this all together as I was making it. A wall-hung #fiber #sculpture , 'Lamentations' is part of my 'Good Grief' body of work, exploring facets of grief. It's reclaimed fabric, wood ashes, thread, steel. #fiberart #contemporaryart #womanartists

#makersmARTch I'm sharing this piece for the #glue prompt because it has collage elements. This piece is based on a wall hung sculpture from my 'Variations on Domestic Bliss' series.
