Thank you to everyone who came by the @bqfleamarket furniture, decor and design day on Sunday! That was my first time trying the @bqfleamarket and my first day back at the markets after 8 weeks away- the longest I’ve gone without being at the @bkflea in 5 years. It felt really nice to see vendor friends, meet new collectors, and to be back out in the community. 

I’m planning to return to the @bkflea in DUMBO this coming weekend with a slightly different inventory than usual so come by and say hi if you’re around 👋

Saying goodbye to my show, ‘The Effort Was Grand,’ and taking a moment to recognize and appreciate all of the effort I put into it. I really love these pieces. Big or small, each has helped me work through, accept, and let go of moments I no longer need to hold tight to.  Little gifts from me to myself and from myself to you.

Thank you @missmelcarl and @galleryartand_ for giving me the space to share the show with the world! Your efforts were GRAND!

For a final offering,
will I be brave enough
to cut off my own hand?

I’ll gift it to you in a box
wrapped in blue
silk ribbon bow tied tightly, rightly,
tails with angel wings cut perfectly precisely.

A little look into my final completed commission of 2025. A very special work for my friend @corik128 that her husband @trkline21 surprise commissioned for her! 

If you ever want to test your partner on how well they know you, I highly recommend tasking them with filling out my commission questionnaire 😅 A+++ to Rylan.

THE EFFORT WAS GRAND
A *PEEK* (👀 not peak oops!) into the beginning of a new body of work for my upcoming show.
—————-
What is effort? Is it fast or slow, constrained or free? Is it dependent on who is offering? Does it only matter if it is well-received? Is it tied up in money? Is it tied up in time? Is it bound by nature?
—————-
✨In November I’ll be having a show titled, 
“THE EFFORT WAS GRAND” at @galleryartand_ ✨

Exploring themes around efforts made and misguided. How much effort goes unnoticed? How much effort is left on the floor? How much effort does it take to feel fulfilled?

What are your thoughts on efforts you’ve made, received or been witness to?
