Where are you from?
Green Island, NY
Describe your object?
It’s a necklace made from a harvested spider web. It’s metal, in the window is a web captured on black construction paper. It was harvested in the early morning from an abandoned web by Wendy Cook.
How is your object meaningful to you?
The artist who made it for me is a very special person in my life. Together we run Mighty Girl Art Camp, an art empowerment camp for girls ages 8-13. Wendy was born on the same day, in the same area of upstate New York, 25 years apart.
How do you see yourself as an artist in your community?
I see myself as an organizer and programmer, making a platform to elevate underrepresented voices in my community.
What is your hope for the future?
I hope for society to be based on mutual aid and compassion
