I feel something strictly female resounding in me as I look at her pieces, and think they’re all stunningly beautiful in a retrospective and reactive way that is under-represented in our patriarchal culture.
Lovely.

You are using massive amounts of wood that is being carved by power tools , you are using aerosole sprays and toxic chemicals to further achieve what is a very questionable outcome. Please rethink your art and recatagorize yourself.! Dont continue to delude yourself or others and market yourself as an ecologist. This is art imitating life in the most bastardized way. I would rather see the real tree that all that wood came from.

is cedar endangered?

why can’t I find email addresses to send to artists?
is it because they are afraid of criticism from the hoi polloi?

surely they can have a public email address?

like some of her stuff
but

…

why no interaction between her and her beloved viewers on Pbs?

too stressfull i guess
