I traveled north
About as far as I could go
To a place the sun hangs low
Didn’t know a soul when I arrived
The company of birds keeps
My spirit from running dry
I’m far from home but what is home
But where I choose to lie?

I object to the exploitation of, and the lack of respect for, human laborers…to the frantic commercialization of the many realms of daily life, … to the desecration of what is beautiful, to the celebration of what is venal, and to the ethical obtuseness of the king’s adoring enablers.

For something different. Alaska mushrooms! When I moved to AK over 15 years ago one of the first things I became fascinated with were the mushroom. I'm not an expert at naming them (I'm learning), but I have expert skills in laying on my belly to photograph them. Pro tip, wear rain gear.
Sanity through #knitting these days. What are you all doing to keep yourselves grounded?

Recently, I’ve felt creatively blocked, so I’ve turned to past work for inspiration. Revisiting concepts that didn’t quite land the first time and reworking them has been both a challenge and a lot of fun.
