Do city bees dream of junk mail flowers?

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

Dakota. Hmong. Somali. Russian. Arabic. Spanish. English. May the languages spoken in southeastern Anoka county become a source of pride for those who speak them. May they flourish beyond the walls of this wooden box and beyond the walls of the public library where this piece will soon live. #publicart #mixedmedia #origami #recycledart #languages #languagediversity #paperart #minnesota #anokacounty @anokacolibrary

“Klein” blue x coral red x end of winter garden clippings. (Scroll for process!) Working on a whole series of monotype prints on long and skinny scraps of scavenged paper. Waiting for Spring to work its magic outside. I threw the clippings randomly on the ink, hoping to achieve a natural feel. Printed at the coop at @mnbookarts using water based @akuainks #printmaking #monotypeprint #stilllife #mygardeninmarch #seeds #etchingpress #printing

I finally designed and printed the custom origami paper that will be used to record the dreams of @como_community_seed_library gardeners, before being folded into... paper seeds. 🌱🌱🌱 Recycled paper from @frenchpaperco And water soluble @akuainks. Printed at the studios @mnbookarts Playing around formatting on the showcard press was so much fun!! #printmaking #letterpress #origamipaper #socialpractice #seedyourdreams

I worked all winter on a mixed media series exploring the intersection of decay and rebirth, as well as the Liminal space between man-made and natural sights. I’ll be busy taking pictures and documenting all week, now that the sunlight is back!! #stilllife #mixedmediaart #collage #printmaking #origami #recycledart #environmentalism #insects

Happy Sunday Minnesota! (And elsewhere) Here is a visual toast to the last snow storm of the year. (??) If you have to get out there today, remember: Spring is a state of mind. These small portable art mantras are now for sale, $10 each! DM me if interested. Mantra was printed on a showcard press, dragonfly inside printed on unryu paper, a vandercook press. #spring #minnesota #mantra #portableart #letterpress #printmaking #paper #mixedmediaart

Today is my first day as a @mnbookarts artist co-op member AND I just got a note from @forecastpublicart telling me that my « garden of words » was chosen to be featured permanently in Anoka county’s brand new library!!!(Opening summer 2019) I’m totally overwhelmed with excitement ✨✨✨✨ #publicart #minnesota #paper #printmaking #origami #mixedmedia #artistcoop
