I see faces everywhere. The bedsheets left traces on my arm this morning. #faceseverywhere #tracing #sketches #patterns https://www.instagram.com/p/CDuCKbBFtCr/?igshid=1ib4pymd2ivff

2 different paintings, (of the same description). I like to see how an image changes just by the nature of being separate. Like identical twins. What are the similarities what are the differences? #sidebyside #laurakaretzky #differences #similarities https://www.instagram.com/p/CDcVUFGlihL/?igshid=17zsnallvk3ha

I’ve only left Bklyn Heights 3 times since Friday the 13th of March. Passing by Manhattan city hall on July 1, was powerful. (budget cut deadline!). #occupycityhall #observations #nyc https://www.instagram.com/p/CCSAt4vFw0Y/?igshid=nis9rd71t52q

Thanks @etty.yaniv for including me in the “Artists on Coping” series @artspiel 😻The lockdown, the Zoom life, has made my work seem ahead of its time. Link in bio. https://www.instagram.com/p/CB_mYWilgul/?igshid=1hmdb37cjcj0

My partner the composer Manuel Sosa uses the title Musica Silentis for his work. To me, he is Maesto Silentis. His music is about what we don’t hear as much as what we do hear. #musicasilentis #content #artistslife #workinprogress https://www.instagram.com/p/CB4TGyhlOAU/?igshid=cnf9cg4j8cj6

Thanks @jasonmccoygallery for including my #steamdrawing in “Drawing Challenge X,” inspired by words from #MartinLutherKingJr "Letter from Birmingham Jail," written on 16 April 1963. “History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helped to perpetuate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it." - Martin Luther King, Jr., 1963 - with @nandinichirimar @barbarafriedman @ojiwiz #drawingchallenge #martinlutherkingjr #letterfrombirminghamjail #nandinibaglachirimar #barbarafriedman #helenoji https://www.instagram.com/p/CBqPc0yF4Kd/?igshid=invcrh8z363r
