Cartonera is a free bookmaking process from Latin America to bring publishing into the hands of the people. ❤️ The workshop was by @chiloteeeee and @adrianalilus and made possible by many wonderful volunteers. Such a creative, educational and fun experience! 🐴🫟📚 taken in Silver City, New Mexico by @highdesertbroadcast

You can find my new piece “Going Through Changes” on view in the current group show “Sound and Vision” @hehcoamano in Santa Fe, NM - Curated by @marthatraer. This is the last week to see the show in person - on view through Nov. 2nd, 2025. Check out all the work for the show over at hehcoamano.org

This work pushes new territory for me - it’s a hand painted screen print on 11 basswood blocks housed in a custom raw metal frame that I collaborated on with Britton Banowsky (@lamyironworks). He knocked it out of the park, from the side cutout typography “awe and wonder”, to the custom french cleat he built into the back of the frame for hanging.

The theme and requirement for “Sound and Vision” was that each artist had to select a song and then create a visual piece inspired by that song.

I choose the heart wrenching soul ballad “Changes” by Charles Bradley (a cover of the 1972 original by Black Sabbath) - a song about the loss of a deeply loved one. The opening lyrics are the anchor in the song that grab me every time “I’m so unhappy, I’m so sad, I lost the best friend that I ever had….I’m going through changes” - immediately makes me think of my best friend of 30 years, Rob Campbell who passed in early 2020.

Both Charles and Rob meant a lot to me. With Rob, this artwork is a quilted patchwork of illustrated symbols and patterns representing stories of our time together from age 15 to 45 which have become folklore embedded in my memory.

Charles Bradley passed in 2017 not long after the release of “Changes”. I saw him perform around a dozen times… in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, New Orleans, New York, and Austin - where we shared a conversation that I’ll never forget. The undeniable level of joy, elation, and connectedness felt at his shows was absolute magic.

A year ago @marthatraer asked if I wanted to be in a group show she was curating - her first! Her email said: “Sound and Vision is a group show that celebrates music and art simultaneously. Each piece must be 14x11 inches and be based on a song of your choosing. After those two restrictions are satisfied, you can take your art in any direction you want.” 🖼️

I was honored to be included and then the panic set in! 😩 Once the initial jitters settled, I took time to meditate on the idea, and what came to me was @courtneymarieandrews’ album Old Flowers. I love this album, and it was on repeat during a hard time in my life. I decided to take a drive and listen to the album. On that drive I decided on the title track, Old Flowers and started to concept what I would create. I wanted it to feel like an old house, vintage wallpaper, old memories, heartbreak. 💔

Serendipitously right after I told @tonycalz about my idea, he discovered Courtney Marie Andrews was playing at the Stakeout. These things tend to happen in New Mexico and of course we went! It was a beautiful, intimate evening. ✨

I’m proud of how my piece turned out. Thank you @marthatraer and @hechoamanoorg for this opportunity and support, thank you @tonycalz for your encouragement and belief in me, thank you to @psychic.stitch for the beautiful chain-stitching and thank you @courtneymarieandrews for creating such beautiful music. 🎶 🙏🏼🥰

We are all born from the furnace of stars. If we could just spend less time divided, stoking fear, fighting, consumed with conspiracy and more time basking in the awe and wonder of life, of the mystery and beauty in being connected to each other through the magic of the universe.

1. Awe &
2. Wonder
3. Things we used to make this:  gold leaf scans, old book texture scans, time magazine images 60/70s, drawn illustration and frame-by-frame animation in @procreate, final touches in after effects
