Spent a couple days organizing my showroom space in Jersey City after thanksgiving. I’m getting things organized to ship more art supplies down to St Croix once my new space here is built out. It feels like all I did this past year and a half is move. I’m looking forward to feeling settled so I can tackle all the new ideas in my sketchbook/lists🛬#instudio #studiotour #artistlife #behindthescenes

On this first Thanksgiving without my Dad, I am grateful for all the memories of fun , fellowship and arguments that I wish we could have all over again… #repost • @mypositiveoutlooks A heartfelt remembrance of those we've lost, deeply missed, especially during Thanksgiving. They are always with us. ✨

Reposting• @americantapestryalliance “Blackity Black Blanket Drape on Library Ladders”, Theda Sandiford, 2023

“Engaging in these conversations [that include racial gaslighting and dismissive remarks] feels like a game of Chutes and Ladders...I refuse to be silenced or gaslit. It’s time to confront racism head-on and hold ourselves accountable for change.” Theda Sandiford @misstheda on her work, “Blackity Black Blanket”. This work is on display now through December 8 in “Beyond: Tapestry Expanded”, an ATA sponsored exhibit at the Peeler Art Center at DePauw University in Greencastle, IN. Courtesy of the artist. Special thanks to the exhibition curator Erica Warren @connoisseurofcomfort and the jurors Jade Yumang @jadeyumang Alexa Griffith Winton @agwinton

Dates: November 12-17 Location: Zoom
The second presentation will be at the 2024 Textile Society of America Symposium, titled “Shifts and Strands: Rethinking the Possibilities and Potentials of Textiles.”

During this virtual event, I’ll be discussing how
Free Your Mind uses textiles and memory to convey emotions, and create healing, thereby pushing the boundaries of traditional textile art.

Just wrapped up Free Your Mind at @americanfolklor

Just wrapped up Free Your Mind at @americanfolkloresociety conference. Thank you to all the folklorist, educators, arts administrators and artists that participated by releasing a microaggressions on a story ribbons. Next weekI’ll be documenting and categorizing the bias types shared on the ribbons along with presenting about this project during @textilesociety Shifts and Strands Conference. Watch this space to see how this project continues to evolve. #fiberartist #softsculptureartist #softsculptures #softsculpture #fiberartsculpture #fiberarts #textileart #weaving #bipocmakers #folklore #socialjustice
