After a crazy fall, I have moved my studio and settled into the Artisan’s Asylum in Somerville, MA. My individual space is small but the creativity there is BIG. As part of their lecture series and part of ARTWEEK Boston,  I am giving a lecture about my weaving and am creating a community weaving project. Just imagine a 12′ high tornado covered in electrical cords, all those old computer cables, charging stations, etc. With your help it will be amazing.

Empty out that drawer and bring those old land lines, modems, powercords, computer cables, electrical wires, battery chargers.

Add your digital detritus to a twelve foot  high tornado !!

Detritus donations can be dropped off @ Artisan’s Asylum if you can’t join us!

In the Navajo tradition, the spider introduced them to weaving and saved a young navajo from enemies by lowering a silken rope for him to climb to safety until the enemy was gone.

My spider is 4′ high and 2′ deep, woven with treadmill tread and mounted on a rebar mobius web woven with red monofilament line

The elephant in the room takes to the streets next Sunday for the HONKfest parade in Somerville and Cambridge. The float is almost done and the tires are all inflated.
