Last year at the @ruralandproud Spring Summit, @kelly_chuning gave me these threads which are pulled from serapes in her textile works that dismantle the blanket as sites of colonization and erasure. I wasn’t sure what I was saving them for, but knew the occasion would arise. I am delighted to use them in Tatreez samples after learning this form of textile resistance (with an R) from @halasalehtatreez earlier this week in her workshop @books___and . The Summit was the point I decided to turn off the path I was on, and these threads felt like something I collected in haste to fortify the road ahead, things we pick up “just in case”… an apple, a jacket, or the means by which to weave a new condition out of the spent tailings of our past. Summer, fall, and winter have seen me in profound transition and on this snowy spring morning I’m thinking about these threads having travelled from one woman’s hands, in what seems like a former life, to my own hands enacting another woman’s teaching. Threads that become material, while we picture our collective dreams.

Visiting our new neighbors @books___and to browse their selection of stationary, design tools, and of course, books! Their communal space will host art shows, concerts, workshops, and - you’re in luck - today they are co-hosting the Central City Gift Exchange with @shopmomu @eminentinktattoos @eats_bakery and @soleil.nailstudio from 10-3! The perfect shopping spot for Small Business Saturday! ❄️ Stop by, say hi to @elpitha and let her know we sent you (one of you will win a $50 Fice gift card 👀)!

Update! After 15 years at the University of Utah, I’ve resigned from my tenure faculty appointment in the Division of Multi-disciplinary Design. I’ll stay on as an adjunct to teach on a limited basis and will continue my research and creative work as an independent scholar. I’m opening a new studio and shop called Books and Supply! It will carry art, architecture, and design books as well as studio, pigment, and bookbinding supplies and tools. Lots planned for this space, I hope you will all join me! I’ve made a form to collect contacts for a newsletter and updates, link in bio. Hoping to rely less on socials and would love to send you mail IRL. @books___and PS> I might need help moving all this stuff, yikes!
