After the big opening, I came home to empty studio walls, just in time for new show deadlines like @yehawshow 🌬️🍃 #GAC100 #PANELS #ARTISTSTUDIO #HEREWEGOAGAIN I want to spotlight director @derrick_james @warponypictures and producer @benalexdupris in creating the film, "United by Water" which has been my muse for this entire show. Our stories ground us, they keep us alive, they keep our ancestors alive, our struggles, our celebrations, our deities. The salmon will return. Lemlentx. 🌬️🍃💕 . . . .

Looking forward to reading my copy! This process of submitting, correspondence, and financial compensation has been there most held and supported I've felt working with a creative collective. Thank uuuuuuuu @femmescapes . I've had a physcially painful month and this has been the icing on the 🍰, a yes in a sea of no no no. :::: Unintentional DIY materials study. Gesso on acrylic on gesso on h2o on gouache :::: . . . . . I love "messing up". It's really never a mistake in the studio, it's just learning. Learning more about how materials work together and how they don't. This studio moment created a new piece, entirely. A piece I didn't see coming but am very excited about. Analog thumb drives. #memory
