Use the arts to change climate change. Process and respond creatively to this moment – exploring and possibly sharing your feelings / art about plastics, earth, water, racism, carbon, and species extinction to spark systemic change on the flood of plastics polluting the earth. Join for a short artist’s talk, and hands on art making & artivism. Options to share your art with legislators who are considering laws to make big corporations responsible for the packaging they create. Materials will be on hand. Please also bring a few pieces of plastic packaging trash such as chip bags, wrappers, and other non-recyclable plastics if you are able to.

All ideas, histories, and particles are interconnected and alive.
How do we treat materials, how do we treat each other?
What is lost, and what can be found?I seek by creating art. Art to build knowledge, beauty, and appreciation of the spirited complexities of our world. Art to nurture biophilia and wellness.
Focusing on ecological issues including energy, resources, and health.
Exploring and playing with our habits of consumption and creativity.
Collaborating with materials, processes, and cycles from technologic to organic growth and decay, to relating and creating with groups and individuals.Grappling with understanding and inviting the re-envisioning of our patterned worlds – grotesque, sublime and beautiful.
