Restless Garden opens tonight at @moderneden in San Fran! My piece, "Mourning Dove" will be available. I created cyanotype prints of my cemetery 35mm photography on fabric and incorporated them with wool, silk, antique beads and brass under a glass dome. Show will be up for a month in the gallery and online as well.

"Grave Study"
35mm photography - cyanotype on cotton, silk, and wool in wall hanging wood specimen box
This Saturday (3/14) is the opening of "Is it still life 2" at @brassworksgallery - curated by @krk_ryden !
For this piece, I did something totally new! I have been taking more photographs with my 35mm camera and decided to try to incorporate those into my fabric work by means of cyanotype. I took my negatives, created transparencies, transferred them onto cotton, and made my skeleton from there. Here are some of my process photos. Piece reveal this weekend!
Today on @everydayorig (10:30am EST) , Goldfinch will become available for purchase - A one of a kind fabric Finch embellished with antique beads.
I have also restocked my own website lanacrooks.com with more teeth, edition finches, and hearts.

I used to make a collage (or 2) for every month at the end of the year. I forgot how nice it was to look back at all the memories accumulated over 12 months. It puts things into perspective and makes you realize what & who are important. I did a lot in 2025, more than I realized. For 2026 I want to continue with these close connections- maybe even more so. More adventures, more art, more time spent with the people I love doing silly things with.

Most of my roll didnt turn out, but here are some favorites that did: A trip to the mausoleum, pumpkin patch, Halloween, Bagby hot springs, and filming day.
Now, for something a little different! I'm not only a sculptor and axe thrower, but I'm also a graphics installer! Last week, I took on my largest vinyl mural install to date for @oregoncontemporary - a new exhibit open now (go see it). 2 days of sky-high work with my assistant @tybitely - my retail / imersive spaces and installs can be found on crookedart.com
