Wonder Women Photo Shoot

Hanging the work to photograph takes patience, I don’t have. Thankfully, photographer April Tracey does.
Adjustments are necessary to drape the fabric just right
Look at the lovely natural light coming through the skylight

Spent a couple days organizing my showroom space i 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

Reposting• @americantapestryalliance “Blackity 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.
