Art and gardening has taken me on several paths in my life and it always leads to community. This is from a group exhibition in 2021.

2024 Crafting Trends to Watch: Get Inspired & Stay Ahead

2024 is set to be an exciting year for the craft and DIY industry! With more people embracing creativity and handmade designs, the following trends are set to take over:

Sustainable Crafting: 🌱♻️ As eco-conscious living becomes more widespread, sustainable crafting is on the rise. Expect upcycled materials, eco-friendly dyes, and zero-waste projects to dominate the scene.

Digital Art & Crafts Hybrid: 🎨🖥️ Combining digital tools with traditional crafting methods is revolutionizing the way we create. Think AI-generated patterns or designs paired with hand-painted details.

Bold Colors & Patterns: 🎨🌈 Vibrant, bold color palettes are trending in textiles, pottery, and home décor. From neon threads to geometric designs, 2024 is all about making a statement.

Crafting for Mental Health: 💆‍♀️🧶 Crafting has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety. Look out for DIY kits focused on mindfulness, relaxation, and self-care in the coming year.

Be Thankful

Glazed in beguiling dark humor, this taxidermy sculpture has a serious message that rings even more true today than it did when I originally made the piece ten years ago. As most of you likely have heard, the population of Earth just reached 8 billion. In the span of a mere decade since this sculpture was created, an additional billion humans now live on the planet. Below is the statement that accompanied this sculpture the first time it was exhibited in 2014 in a themed exhibition titled Fruitful and Multiplying – The Overpopulation Exhibit. So much for progress.

TITLE: Turducken à la Monsanto MATERIALS: Domestic duck, turkey, and rooster skins

“This piece is a commentary on the absurdity and entitlement of gourmet foods, the privilege of being able to allocate food for the purpose of art, and the disconcerting technology of interspecies grafting performed by the bioengineering industry. The strain on our planet's resources has become immense as the population of Earth crests 7 billion. With a tipping point looming, genetic engineers are creating hybrid species of livestock and crops designed to produce the highest yield possible while using the least amount of resources. The reality is many developing countries do not have the means to utilize this controversial technology and only an elite portion of the Earth's population will profit from these so-called advances. We live in a country rich in all resources. It enables us to use food towards a myriad of frivolous ends, including our entertainment. We create designer cuisine that is more about status than it is about sustenance, and we feed human quality food to our pets. While we enjoy our luxury foods, for much of the world just having food is a luxury.” ~

I feel grateful to share the following announcement from curator Ruth Tabancay who has invited my works along with other four established Eco artists from the Bay Area. Mercury 20 Gallery is pleased to present THE NATURAL OTHER, an earth month group show featuring visiting artists: Salma Arastu, Alicia Escott, Julia Feldman, Linda Gass, and Amy Hibbs. March 31 - May 6, 2023 Artists Reception: Saturday, April 15, 4 - 6pm Gallery hours: Friday and Saturday from 12 to 5pm, and by appointment. Oakland Art Murmur: April 7 and May 5, 5 – 9 pm. THE NATURAL OTHER Curated by Ruth Tabancay In honor of Earth Day, April 22, Mercury 20 Gallery member Ruth Tabancay curated a show of artwork that fits into the premise, The Natural Other. The work in this show falls along a continuum with “What would happen without human intervention?” at one end and “With human intervention, what is the extent of disruption to a particular earth system and can we fix it?” at the other. Whether impacted or not, to what end will natural history evolve? The selected artists depict an intimate relationship with the earth through a variety of concepts. #ecoart #ecoartists #myceliummagic #mycelialflow #contemporarypainting #contemporaryart #salmaarastu https://www.instagram.com/p/CqlQOAqJZGO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

ICA SF Curator Christine Koppes is in the house! I’m finishing-up a commission for Sunnyvale’s new City Hall development, and was thrilled to visit with @christinekoppes and have her eyes on my 9’ x 11’ tapestry. She brought along her adorable son Brooks who is a big fan of textiles, especially the neon yarns. 🧶 We talked about art and life and the art of juggling motherhood and a demanding career. I vividly remember those days— rich and rewarding and also stressful. Sending zen vibes to all the moms out there🥰 I’m thrilled that we have the @icasanfrancisco in the Bay, and looking forward to the current show Resting Our Eyes curated by @tfresh and @autumnbreon. I’m super excited about Christine’s upcoming summer programming—including exhibitions by LA artists @patrick_martinez_studio and @hayvkahraman and local painter @rupyctut . Good stuff!👍🙏🙌 Images: Christine, Brooks and the tapestry. Tapestry details.

Print Description: This art print features an intricate and symmetrical pattern made entirely of butterflies. Each butterfly is created using finely engraved details, the result of the linocut technique, which gives the composition a unique and artisanal character. The work conveys a sense of movement and liveliness thanks to the complex combination of butterflies, which seem to merge into a harmonious pattern. The entire design is in black and white, emphasizing the texture and graphic details. It is ideal for those looking for minimalist but highly expressive art, with references to nature and craftsmanship.
