Throwing billions in public money behind a pipeline at a time of climate breakdown – while sweeping aside environmental protections, meaningful Indigenous consultation and workers’ right to strike – is absolutely not in the national interest.

“The Sound of His Own Voice Made Him Cry the Most”, collage of corporate papers from my NY law practice at that time, sewn, with personal papers. 9/11 was life-changing for me, but now all I can think of is how the lives and pain of only some in this world are deemed worthy of being mourned.
Collage of the twin towers on 9/11. WTC made from sewn legal documents from my law office. Personal photos/memories form the rubble/city.

Ideally. In Canada I’m not sure the system is large enough to wield that kind of power. Maybe the US libraries can achieve a new standard.

Pattern pieces for a quilt coat. I’m experimenting with exposing the seams in various ways. Making it feels like a mix of painting, drawing and quilting.

"Art can’t forcibly induce a change in behaviour. It’s not a re-education pill. Empathy is not something that happens to us when we read War and Peace. It’s work, for which art can, however, provide us with radiant materials." - Olivia Laing

I have warned about the rightwing attack on empathy. It is as dangerous as any attack on democracy. It is an attack on our humanity. Once you turn off empathy you can do anything. It will accelerate in Musks’ hands. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

My selfie in front of the amazing mirror work Threshold by Sanaz Mazanani at the Aga Khan Museum, Toronto. I’ve never looked so good.
