Trans Relocation Support Fundraiser

Candlesticks to benefit Trans Relocation Support Western Massachusetts! Available at Waterway Arts in Great Falls, MA. Hand built in porcelain and stoneware, multiple designs at different price points, starting at $60 for a pair. 

We raised over $2k as of March 8, 2025. Thank you for your support! I’ve closed the online shop – the remaining candlesticks are available at Waterway Arts.

100% goes to Trans Relocation Support Western Massachusetts, helping *trans families and individuals fleeing states with anti- trans legislation.

Trans Relocation Support is a mutual aid network providing temporary housing, financial support, and a welcoming community to folks relocating to Western Massachusetts.

I am immensely gratified to be able to leverage my art practice to welcome families moving to Western Massachusetts seeking safety and community. Thank you for your support!

Menorahs for Gaza

I am immensely gratified to be able to leverage my art practice to support Palestinian families in Gaza. Thank you for your support! In November and December 2024, I was able to send over $9000 to a direct aid network providing meals, water, cash, shelter, and clothing to displaced families in central Gaza.

I made 36 porcelain sgraffito menorahs and sold them online, at studio sales/craft fairs, and at Waterway Arts in Great Falls, MA. 100% of purchases went to direct aid. I donated my time, materials, and studio expenses.

You can find videos of aid distribution in the “Menorahs :watermelon:” highlight on my instagram profile. 

I wrote a little bit more about it in my Annual Report.

100 Eyes

I make pottery with imagery from mythology and heroic poetry. Parents (especially mothers) are under constant surveillance, formally by the state, but also informally whenever we parent in public. My ceramic work exploring the myth of Argus (a giant covered with one hundred eyes, “the Watcher”) positions those one hundred eyes within a space where there is the potential for both witnessing and validation, or surveillance and judgment. 

I’m a parent of two young children (ages 9 and 4), growing up without school. I have a chronic illness that adds complexity to parenting and working. Disability has forced me to look critically at how our society applies value to work, reproductive labor, and parenting. As parents, we have chosen to home educate, in part so that we can live at a pace that adapts to my own varying capacity.
