Making use of scraps! The sophisticated earth tones offset the almost-but-not-quite nostalgic shape of the flowers, which recall the very best of girlhood: that magic, verbal, capable time before self-consciousness set in like the flu. Each piece is hand cut and riveted. The flowers are 2 inches across.

 

Burgundy is a robust wine color for the outer petals, a saddle middle, and a barely-pink center. Niobium hooks for total ear happiness. Wood beads. 

 

Green is a deep olive with saddle inner petals and that same barely-pink deep blush center. Shiny brass keeps them bright. 

 

Saddle is the supple brown with a pink-unto-lilac middle floret with a deep shiny brown center. Shiny brass hardware.

    Tender Fire Studio is part concept, part my tiny basement apartment full of art supplies and very little furniture, and part shared workshop. I work, play, and love on land that was stolen from the Pocumtuc people, settled by colonizers, and continues to be sold for profit in the speculative real estate market for the enrichment and comfort of the owning class. Decolonizing my practice is an ongoing study of how I can be in right relationship to the land, animals, and plants of this place while embracing and acknowledging the often-scary precarity and vulnerability of a life given to the pursuit of soul and the sacred rather than the settler concepts of security and safety. I give thanks and praise to the rivers that form this Connecticut River valley, to these sand hills and the ants that dwell here and find my kitchen window so inviting, to the many birds and their dawn hymns, and to the forests: o the trees, the ferns, the damp stones and the deep deep woods, you are the mercy of the sacred in cellulose flesh.
