More work from the ceramic invitational at the Museum of Northwest Art in LaConner, WA. I don't usually like the type of very Junguan expressionism that Daniel Duford trades in, but I spent a good long while with this installation and I found it charming, almost nostalgic (it reminded me of so much art from the 90s, but that's just me). That coyote in the painting is going to haunt me for a while.

More work from the ceramic invitational at the Museum of Northwest Art in LaConner, WA. Ariana Heinan (photo 1) makes these big ceramic and steel pieces with intensely colored but ultra-flat finishes. I've seen Holly Hudson's work (photo 2) at Seattle Art Fair; I love her playful manipulation of negative space here.

I spent a very rainy Sunday at the Museum of Northwest Art in LaConner, WA. The current show is an invitational of Northwest ceramic sculptors and I was especially keen on seeing these exquisite pieces by Patty Warashina. I've liked her work for years, but this is really kicking it up a notch. Look how well placed and well lit it is, too--like it was made for this spot. The show runs though May.

At a local café and the staff were talking in support about Hadachek v. Oregon and Intact Global's challenge to expand protection from child genital cutting to all children including preventing circumcision of boys and intersex surgeries.
People are talking in support of genital autonomy this is not a fringe issue, less than 1 in 10 children are genitally cut in Oregon, and Oregonians are happy to fight for the rights of all children!
I shared more info with them such as our search for a plaintiff who has experienced intersex related genital cutting in Oregon.
Exerpt from my speech:
"I’ve been speaking up against child genital cutting for almost a decade with limited success until I moved here. Portland, Oregon really became my home because we also talk to neighbors here, and we know them. We know that they’re exceptionally diverse, and I believe we’re proud to fight for human rights because we know that. [Pause]
Many people assume that I was not affected by childhood genital cutting, but childhood genital cutting, including circumcision, affects more than just boys and men."
