Switching from morning folding to night. Thinking of the many layers that constitute a person. Serene, shiny, proper outsides. Complex, tortured, secret insides. #handmadepaper dyed with blue pea flower tea. #folding #meditation #paperart #origami #paper #ecodye

4th of July Self-portrait. This is what I am here. These official words make me a privileged individual. I can’t be separated from my US citizen child. Not unless I commit a crime worthy of deportation. My thoughts go today to all the parents who don’t have that privilege, at the border and elsewhere in the country. #nokidsincages #privileged #selfportrait #letterpress #jeans

Happy July!! Lots and lots of single sheet blooms will be folded this month across the twin cities. Learn how flowers=better food justice at the Como pollinator garden tour on July 13, at the Pollinator party on July 25, and at Market in the valley on July 28. @racmarwar and me would love to see you there! You will find all the details in my (succinct) newsletter, now online, see link in bio. #handmadepaper #recycledjeans #origami #paperfolding #papermaking #socialfolding #foodjustice #minnesota #twincities

My being angry won’t help any of the children held in inhumane conditions at the US/Mexico border, but if we all get angry together, things can change. #nokidsincages #childrendontbelongincages #bordercrisis #donotbesilent #printmaking #monotypeprint

I’ve been wondering all week how to explain to allegedly “well travelled” white Americans who make ignorant/racist comments about the French soccer team the difference between : 1. Your cultural/ linguistic identity 2. Your country of citizenship 3. Your ethnicity No matter what the 20% of French extreme right voters say, after two centuries of constant migrations and of colonial history, “French” is a cultural identity more than anything else. I am 50% north-African Hispanic, 25% Slovenian and 25% Polish and I am 100% French, linguistically, culturally and as a citizen. So are all the girls on the French soccer team. Allez les bleues!!!! #letterpress on #fabric sewed on #jeans #printmaking #womenworldcup2019
