Someone said my art is a break from politics and for the record: my art is political

In a world where billionaires at the top aerospace companies see space as exclusive ground for white men to conquer and colonize, I offer a quiet contemplative alternative for anyone and *everyone*
Angled cup featuring weathered spacecraft design and small round window in center showing astronaut looking out at branches wrapping around craft. Teapot featuring the Eagle Nebula and two floating astronauts holding hands looking at the scene. Detail of a yarn bowl showing an astronaut repairing a spacecraft above them and attached to a tether that leads to the yarn feed. Serving bowl featuring two astronauts helping each off the ground in the distance near a crashed spaceship, while debris is scattered around the middle and foreground on the cracking surface of a barren moon. Two exoplanets above.

That part that part that part . We are funky lil weirdos but we can’t find the connection we seek if we aren’t that authentically!

Hate forced small talk & now gotta worry about people using AIs to give "conversation starters".
Rather just sit in silence.
In fact, i feel not enough people are comfortable w/ shared silence & riding out awkward moments.
Have good memories of awkward moments turning into shared laughs with folks.

As the holidays approach, we are still here, creating art.

As the world burns, it seems only appropriate we are making raku, if only as a reminder that from fire comes new life.

I know times are tough, but hopefully my work can find a good home. You can help by sharing🙏
6 raku vases in a grid with a white background in two rows of three. Flames inside a reduction bin during the raku process. You can make out some newspapers and a sculpture.

Happy Saturday everyone! I'm a fused glass artist specializing in jewelry. This winter I'm branching into wreaths that make great decorations for walls, windows & Christmas trees.

The extent to which I was completely abandoned with pcos/endo is hard to quantify, and plenty of people tried to sell me WooWoo solutions for pain.

Doctors completely failed me on every front for most of my life, I am sympathetic to not trusting them. It is a hard convo.
dsky.bsky.social DaemonSky @dsky.bsky.social · 3d
Absolutely this. I'd add that many conspiracy movements focused on women's health exist because the medical establishment has completely failed women. I know so many people whose doctors drove them to strange behavior in desperation.
gwensnyder.bsky.social Gwen Snyder is uncivil @gwensnyder.bsky.social · 3d
Please hear me when I say that

1) these anti-medical woo birth movements have been a primary feeder into anti-vaxx eugenic movements

2) they pre-date the age of social media

3) they exist because we have not addressed medical sexism and specifically obstetric violence

“Cascade Dreams”
Intaglio and spit-bite aquatint print, 12”x 8”

Dream map, trails and neurotransmitter constellations ✨

#sciart #printmaking #intaglio
An imaginary dream map hand printed in grayscale. One sees the topography of the Salmon River estuary and the Cascade Head trail near the Oregon Coast along with elements of the night sky and neurotransmitters associated with dream sleep. The map contains the strongly etched topography of the shoreline which includes three islands and the more subtle paths which mark the hiking trail up to the Cascade Head meadow. by Kindra Crick #art #map #oregoncoast

Some behind the scenes on calendar production!

Wire coil punch and binding machine, and a corner rounder with die swapped out (half moon to allow for the hanging wire).

Took quite a bit of experimenting/figuring things out but happy with doing these myself to get the size and options I wanted!
