It’s been a busy couple of years since I attempted to play with my blog. Instagram and Facebook have been my play spaces. As I come to the end of the MA course, many essays have been written, and I’ve had the privilege of participating in producing international papers around peacebuilding. Finding a place for participatory art during the pandemic has been necessary. Moving forward, developing a participatory art practice is an area I hope to continue to explore, mainly focusing on developing well-being and community resilience.
I’ll update images and work over the next few weeks, as I have the privilege of facilitating sessions twice in November 2023. I’ll support a class exploring sustainable books form at The Fishbowl in Downtown Seattle on November 11th.
Later in the month, I will explore PNW torcs with the NorthWest Bead Society.
I’m just back from Pilchuck Glass School having taken a 4 day residency with Hannah Smith exploring.The class was small and very diverse.Probably my favorite time was Saturday night when we were all rocking out in the print shop.Peeps were on the computers making masks to sand-blast and printing our plates-team work all around.We had a print exchange and created prints to swap.I’m looking forward to finding a place for around our home.
In my early days in Bellevue I volunteered at Kidsquest our local children’s museum.Due to it’s geography I still see staff frequently but we realized it had been a long time since I’d actually attended an event.
