I've been asked for my first commission on my sculpting! So exciting. However I'm still really uncertain about my materials. I've upgraded to a better clay (Marblex) but I have no idea how long it will last over time. So my current strategy is simply ask to ask for material and shipping covered ...

I realized I did not give the name of my most recent work: GB, 2025 #sculpture #art #portrait

Took me a while to finalize this work, because I wanted to really dry out the paint before working with the base. And now it's done! #sculpture #portrait #art #sculpting

He's at the gallery now! For those who live in KW, check out the People's Gallery at the The Art Store, starting tomorrow, for all of September - see this dude in real life, and lots of other great art! (& buy art supplies & support local!) #sculpture #gallery #art #portrait #kitchener-waterloo

Ready to paint! #sculpture #sculpting #art #portrait

I wrapped it less tightly tonight so that this weekend I can refine details, and then I start painting. Such a fun time in the process. Michael's trip tomorrow!! & all the Halloween stuff is out too!! #art #sculpture #sculpting #portrait

Getting closer to finished! #art #sculpture #sculpting #portrait #clay

Have begun to curate my own somewhat creepy gallery for my neighbors to enjoy. #art #portrait #display #sculpture #sculpting

A little note on alt-text. Since the start of posting my sculpted work on Bluesky, I've struggled with alt-text descriptions; who I am to decide how to 'describe' my models within the complexity of our identities? (1/3) #anti-oppression #anti-racism #art #justice #identity #sculpture

New project started today. I can get a lot further now in a few hours than I used to be able to. Measuring went a bit faster too, doing it for a second project. #art #sculpture #sculpting #portrait #clay

The base Modge Podge (Outdoor) sealant (much heavier) and paint is on! Tomorrow the final sealant coat (trying a poly eurothane wood sealer). Really hoping I can stop these pesky air bubbles. #portrait #art #sculpture #sculpting #clay

Ready to dry overnight then it's time to paint and seal #sculpture #art #portrait #clay

A bit of progress for today

Progress. Great long weekend for sculpting! #art #portrait #sculpture #clay

Progress for today

New project started today. Alot of progress. First project I used a ruler and did more precise structuring. Happy with the results of that. #sculpture #portrait #art

When you're trying to memorize Frost at Midnight by #Coleridge but every time you start up, you hear it in your head to the tune of After Midnight by #EricClapton. #poetryproblems #mindworm

Project complete! "Bint al-Firʿawn" Air-dry clay, DecoArt Extreme Sheen Metallic Paint in Emerald Will be on display at the Peoples Gallery in August - really worth seeing this shine IRL! #art #sculpture #sculpting #portrait #clay

Can I do a sculpture?

Experimenting with #DecoArt Extreme Sheen Metallic Paint and really happy with the outcome. This needs another coat or two and them sealant, and it will be done! #sculpture #art #clay #green #emerald #portrait

Fittingly, I found this #book of Tom Wayman's #poetry from @wlupress.bsky.social in our staff lounge (sometimes their extra books end up there; an unexpected pleasure). He's inspired my thinking about work & art & democracy - & a poem written with passion & a Sharpie into the book on #NoKingsDay.

Why is my backpack so heavy? Oh...

I was so honoured to be a guest presenter for Dr. McCants-Turner's course. It was a truly special experience to meet everyone, share our stories and talk about #art, #disability and #self-expression. I am very grateful for the opportunity. uwaterloo.ca/centre-peace...
