I will be give a studio tour during the live, virtual online arts festival on Zoom showcasing Jersey City arts.
See the recent fiber sculptures I have been working on in quarantine in response to recent events. I will be weaving and taking questions from the audience during this live event.
Even in the middle of a global pandemic the show must go on… I have several upcoming shows opening in public and virtually. Here’s what’s coming up for me…
I need plastic bags; produce bags, grocery bags, newspaper bags all sorts of plastic bags wanted.
If you you have a stash of plastic bags and are willing to part with your bounty of bags, I would be most grateful. I can use them for an installation project. I am weaving plastic bags and 500 feet of hollow braid polyethylene rope into Prayer Flags.
Recycle those bags into art. Accepting donations at Sky Garden Gallery 150 Bay Street, PH9, Jersey City NJ 07302
I have been working on a big beaded bag, bit by bit over the last couple months. It is still not done I have to finish the shoulder strap and sew on 1000 pony beads.
A new body of work inspired by Billy Holiday “Strange Fruit” and the racial protests of 2020.
Southern trees bear a strange fruit, Blood on the leaves and blood at the root, Black body swinging in the Southern breeze, Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.
Pastoral scene of the gallant South, The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth, Scent of magnolia sweet and fresh, And the sudden smell of burning flesh!
Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck, For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck, For the sun to rot, for a tree to drop, Here is a strange and bitter crop.
