Do city bees dream of junk mail flowers?

In the early morning light,
Concrete sidewalks and city bees are asleep,
Dreaming of flowers.

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
