Throwing it back to Ancestors in Progress III at the Textile Arts Center here in Brooklyn.

What a wonderful experience! I couldn’t post about anything else here until this time was properly documented.

The curation of the events, impeccable. Not only the experience of opening the show together, but also the addition of the artist talk to close. What an engaged and engaging crowd Hekima draws! It was a packed house.

Participating artists were also generously afforded the opportunity to have professional photos taken of themselves with their work. I’ve never felt so comfortable having my photo taken by a stranger lol.

It was lovely to meet some folks in person for the first time and to see familiar faces. And Kelly also surprised me with even more antique pieces which she encouraged me to use in my work. TAC is packed with the kindest people.

Looking forward to more opportunities to be in space with textile artisans. I have a really exciting announcement coming soon! Next up, machine knitting at TAC and, hopefully, expanding doll forms into puppetry, ceramics, woodworking and more.

On view 2/1/26-2/15/26
Opening February 1st, 6:30-9 pm.
Artist Talk February 15th, 5-7pm
