tapestries
dear reader,
when i started making art
when i decided to wrangle
toolboxEarth,
there were considerations to sit and figger on.
im not a gentle person
so i knew that the art i made would need
to be able to
withstand a storm
withstand a drop
be able to brush it off
be resilient to
the necessary roughness

five new tapestries
to help you ground
because art can take it
whatever your ‘it’ is
art can take it
