I'm knee deep in finishing up my solo exhibition called Vibrant Fibers which celebrates quilts and zines and coincides with Wasted Inks's 10-year anniversary! It's been wonderful to see it all come together and I can't wait to display the artworks for others to see!

It's not even a full week after PZF and I worked 60+ hours this week and I'm hosting events and family this weekend.
I'm here, but not HERE.
I'll be back to volunteering for WIZD in a few more days. Please approach with support and hold your asks for additional labor until next week. ✨🙌🏼💀

Thank you Phx Art Museum for inviting us to lead a mini zine make-and-take station for Sept First Friday! We had fun making 120 mini zines with youth & families using materials inspired by the Anna Sui exhibition!
Big thanks goes to our team of volunteers who hosted and ran this event!

2/2 Zines in Tucson: Finally got to visit the zine library at Groundworks. Tucson Zine Fest is hosting monthly zine workshops here and building community in an all-ages sober space at Groundworks. Really neat to see!

1/2 Zines in Tucson: this is my friend Ames's project of little zine libraries throughout the city. They do Outspoken and Bookish and host a variety of in-person and virtual events! Loved seeing this at Revolutionary Grounds.
