Fireworks for Monsters on Fire 🔥 @lemieuxgalleries through this week Exhibit photos by Mike Smith Photography Artist statement (reposting): Kathryn Hunter works in mixed media, from wool appliqué to laser cut steel and paper cutting to relief printing/letterpress. Red wool may touch emotion; a stitch may connect to nostalgia or illustrate a symbol; relief printing may present a pattern; paper cutting may offer a silhouette or shadow. In the exhibit, Fireworks for Monsters on Fire, animals are characters, like those in the folktale tradition, reflecting on the damage caused by white supremacy, violence and pacification, truths and false truths, and the erosion of our natural world. With the elevating gun violence deaths in the US, police related and non-police related, it is hard not to see the country grappling with freedom, the sense of uncertainty of the future, the glaring reality of the disparity between Americans. This work provokes a dialogue about our current state. It is an observation of America’s freedom while symbolically pondering its historical and current destructive conflict upon autonomy and liberty. I’ve learned a lot about dialogue in the last few years being involved with @dialogueonracelouisiana and I’m still figuring out how to visually create a dialogue but that’s part of the practice right? Life is all about practice and then practice Thanks again to @lemieuxgalleries for showing my work! ❤️❤️❤️ y’all are the best ❤️❤️❤️

We’re in this together. In the wake of Hurricane Ida, Baton Rouge missed the worst part of the storm. But widespread power outages are across the city since Sunday and so we are at a stand still at Blackbird until power is back. David and I evacuated at the last minute and our home and studios fared well. We are lucky to be able to evacuate (not everyone is able to) and we’re lucky we didn’t have damage. Our hearts go out to those affected to the south and East of us. It will be a long recovery. But we’re in this together. If you need updates check out @mayorbroome and our good friends @mimosahandcrafted always do an amazing job of sharing resources in times like these. Take care out there my friends ❤️

A really fun project we worked on with our fave @npr local station #wrkf last fall! #89.3 #batonrouge These coaster sets were giveaways to special fund drive donors. My favorite bio is for #SteveInskeep “on days of bad news, he draws inspiration from the Langston Hughes book, Laughing to Keep From Crying.” It may not be fund drive time but you can always donate to your favorite public radio.
