🌱🚧 work in progress 🚧🌱

My Austin Art in Public Places corridor project for Mary Moore Searight Park is sprouting this spring. Inspired by Mary Moore Searight herself, she called her land Indiangrass Ranch before selling the 140 aches to the City to become a park. A blade of Sorghastrum bent into an arch will welcome visitors into the park’s Slaughter lane entrance. This will be the Austin’s first permanent “recycled” public art project. @cityofaustinarts

Thanks to my project manager @bryana.iglesias, the team @sroassociates, and the network of fabrication businesses who provided post consumer steel drop and scrap for the leaves and seeds soon to be added: @howdybuilt @sarabistudio @drophousedesign @ion_art_atx @manchacametals @tdoaustin ✨

Creative reuse centers started because of women and to this day are mostly labor of love by women in education (with the exception of the amazing @notatoban and @cincyrecyclingreusehub!)

The same goes for the story @sparepartssa. I met @sometimesalwaysmary in 2017 during my @thedoseum residency. Mary’s presence and generosity is rare to find and she worked tirelessly to bring a reuse retail space to San Antonio. So happy to see her vision become a reality and thriving. Be sure to support them if you’re in San Antonio. Maggi said I’m an OG SPAREPARTS VIP💅♻️✨

Take me back to @oakspringgardenfoundation 💜
Out of all of my travels the most delicious and inspiring residency experience was the former Mellon Estate in Upperville, VA. I miss the generous staff, Chef Jason’s dinners, CSA boxes, the company of all the birds, bugs, flowers, and my fellow delphiniums 🪻🪻🪻

Delphinium Dog, 2024 is now available @crafthoustonstore through Valentine’s Day!

Final residency of 2024 was a one night stay on my birthday @hotellucine for their guest artist program. That marks 8 residencies total for this year! We dined @thefancytx 🥂 made multiple trips to the heated pool 🏊🏻‍♀️ stuck our toes in the sand 🏖️ and found the perfect gay bar for the elder millennial + population @rlafittes 🌈 I spent most of my childhood birthdays in Galveston, so happy to say nothing has changed, including smoking in bars. 😶‍🌫️

Besitos to @pizzarainbow for keeping things cute, debaucherous, and golden. You’re a great friend to many! 💞 👵🏻 💫

Got the chance to dig around the new to me creative reuse center in Dallas @pegasusreuse! This sweet little space is currently pay what you wish. I met Aime, the center’s new owner and discussed her dreams for Pegasus’ future. I walked away with lots of nearly new containers for all of my creative reuse treasures.

Good luck, @aimeirene ! I hope Pegasus soars! ♥️🪽✨

Stopped in Covington KY on my way back to Texas to see my buddy @tbembnister and she showed me her new neighborhood reuse center @artmarkitcov 💕💫✨

This tiny but mighty center was started by Katie “Kit”, a former middle school art teacher who wanted to create a community space that would have lasting impact on local children. It was so nice to meet Kit and learn about her dreams for Markit! The center is so well merchandised with lots of fun treasures and a long work table.

Keep up the good work Kit! 💥

My little ‘Oak Spring Garden Foundation Fox’ was recently added to the @oakspringgardenfoundation collection and will be included in the residency alumni exhibition “Oak Spring: A Place to Grow” on view at the Appalachian State’s Turchin Center in Boone, NC. The exhibition will be on view from January 17 – May 24, 2025. 🦊🧡✨

The Oak Springs Garden Foundation residency was one of the best experiences for me. I highly recommended this gift of time, space, and plants!

Construction Junction @cjreuse, lovingly nicknamed CJ’s by the locals, is a construction reuse center and transfer station next door to Pittsburgh @creative_reuse. It’s worth the visit just to see the sculpture and store signage! I spent a lot of time dropping off recycling and picking up materials in their bins. 🚮♻️❇️

Thanks for all that you do for the community @cjreuse!💫

The future was never promised, neither was progress. Not sure what to expect for us next. To curb my anxieties, I’ve been turning my focus to living in the moment, especially in the company of friends. Anxiety is fueled by living in the future. My little dog was so good at helping me accomplish that everyday. I’m learning to do this on my own now, but I’m not alone. I may enter a town as a stranger, but I always leave with a bounty of new comrades. It’s the greatest gift of a nomadic life. Thank you @bunkerprojects for the gifts of time, space, support, and so many forever friends. My month in PGH ended with an entirely renewed sense of possibilities. 💫

Slide 1-3 The Future is a Fairy Tale (Tails), 2024, an homage to my little dog 🤍🪽✨
I went to @cjreuse every other day for two weeks to collect the plastic containers to complete this sculpture.

Slide 4 Also want to share my gratitude to everyone who came to open studios! I’m still smiling from my conversations with @lenkaclaytonstudio and @phillipandrewlewis. If you’re in Pittsburgh you must visit their @troyhillarthouses installation. It has to be one of my favorite art experiences in all of my travels.

Besitos @jessierommelt @maggie.bjorklund @luciariffel @starbuckra @chromanobility @annxietease hope to see you all again soon! 💕

I made multiple pit stops at Pittsburgh Center for @creative_reuse, and their annual Craftical, during my stay in PGH. This center is full of junk and treasures! I spent a lot of time digging around their large bulk / fill a bag sections. I found some nearly new flame working tools on my first visit! Whats been your favorite find at a reuse center? 💚♻️✨

Virginia is for trash lovers!!! ♻️💚♻️

There are 9 amazing centers in operation across the state. I’ve had the pleasure of visiting 4 so far!
I love the connectivity happening across the state and admire all of the work Sarah Sweet at Scrappy Elephant @scrappyelephant has done for creative reuse in her region. ❤️

This reel features the amazing odds and ends I discovered at @dabble_crc in Manassas, VA and @upcyclecrc in Alexandria, VA. The rules are buy by the bag. I was able to fit a lot in my tote!

Dabble @dabble_crc and I joined forces to offer a pipe cleaner flower workshop this Sunday, Sept. 8 at 2pm. Come make things with me at this super cute center! Sign up at https://www.dabblecrc.com/events💛✨

You can learn a lot of things from the flowers @oakspringgardenfoundation 💛🌼✨

Grateful to Kim, Natalie, and the garden and education team for showing me how to dye naturally with marigolds. In the spirit of sharing, I included the other residents in the first bath.

Mortar your fabric before (natural fibers work best)
Boil one peck (2 gallons) of marigold flowers fresh or frozen with 1/4-1/3 cup of alum
Boil until frothy
Strain through a natural fiber.
Final image is of the beautiful cotton I used to strain my dye. 💛

Wow! Cincinnati doesn’t mess around when it comes to creative reuse! ♻️🧵💙
I was able to visit the remaining 2 out of the TOTAL of 4 centers in Cincy. @cincyrecyclingreusehub has to be one of the most impressive and organized recycling nonprofits I’ve had a chance to visit and it’s all FREE! Open Thursdays and Saturdays for donations and FREE shopping! @scrapitupcincy is an adorable center with a little bit of everything and reasonably priced. Always remember to tip your reuse center!
