Working on a wittle mini quilt to be stretched on a frame. Going to print a lino design onto the largest green block (I think). Fabric is dyed* with buckthorn berries, indigo, and marigold :-) *grey fabric not dyed by me #naturaldye #naturaldyeing #quilting #quilters #fibreart

on a related note, I love my day job! I get to tell people my silly ideas, and then they take those ideas and make them into silly + beautiful things 🪩🪜🌻🚿 (lino designs by @magpieprintshop.bsky.social + @wedderspoon.bsky.social for @uniongallery.bsky.social's fundraiser this weekend)

This is my semi-regular reminder that if we live in Canada, we should be paying rent to the indigenous peoples who the land actually belongs to. I do this, and you can too, very easily: payyourrent.ca 🇨🇦

We must give people dreams instead of just resistance. Resistance is a survival state. Dreams are aspirational and that motivation drives revolution; they are the fuel for the amazing potential we all have to build a world that doesn't require you to survive, but rather to thrive!

Just received some photos of my recent piece, 'Seed' which has been hand-dyed with marigolds grown from my garden this summer 🌱 'Seed' is currently a part of the exhibition 'Ukutula: Our Timeless Journeys', curated by Qanita Lilla and on display at Museum London this winter and spring. #naturaldye

I've been experimenting a lot in recent months with printing using natural dyes! This was a silkscreened mordant design dyed with marigold 🌻 #printmaking #screenprint #naturaldye

Hey folks! I'm posting my #artvsartist2024 (and also the previous 3 years) to give a bit of an idea of the kind of art-making I do. #ygkarts #ygkartist #kingstonontario #ygk #naturaldye #naturaldyeing #naturaldyers #printmaking #linocut #linocutprint
