Check out these great works from Nathan Vincent in response to Tyrant Trump's ban on transgender service members! #Repost @_nathanvincent ・・・
In response to the announcement reinstating the ban on transgender people serving in the military, I created this series of grenades and M-16s based on the Trans Flag. I’ll be posting the pieces separately, DM me if you’d like to purchase. A portion of proceeds will be donated to GLAD and NCLR to support their federal lawsuit to challenge this directive in the courts. #resist #resistanceart #fiberwork #nathanvincent #transisbeautiful #transrightsarehumanrights

December 14, 2016 in New Contemporaries, Leah Thomason Bromberg

Do you have a pocket asylum? I took a stack of them. A pocket asylum is a tiny piece of robin’s egg blue paper with three questions about what you need for mental health. With one of those golf pencils, I scratched out ideas on how to care for myself. At the bottom: “Read in the future as required.”

Lori Katz's sculptures are close to the heart of clay tradition, rarely straying from the strict use of clay, and utilizing simple geometry graphic motifs. In approaching this kind of clay from an artistic perspective, the viewer is happily greeted by the works.
