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

A new “pocket mantra”, in my SELF HELP series. This week has been extremely tough emotionally. Turning to nature is always comforting to me. No need even to leave the city. Three blades of grass and an ant. Zoom in, tune the city noise out and suddenly you are watching nature at work. Turning to community also helped me a lot this week. Thank you to all the wonderful people who came to fold and opt out with me this week. Thank you to all the members of my IG family who sent messages of support on Thursday when I had to say goodbye to my dear friend. #printmaking #letterpress #tracemonotype #scavengedpaper #waterbasedink #pocketart

Respect. I folded and printed those thinking specifically of pollinators and other small invertebrates. But I want to extend these folding thoughts to all life forms, humans included. ..........****............ Folded butterflies made of scraps of water based monotype prints, printed with rubber stamps. To be seen at the Pollinator Steward Award ceremony on August 25th, in N.E Minneapolis Polli*Nation festival. #respect #printmaking #paperart #paperfolding #pollinators
