There has always been a set of Americans eager for a president-king-godhead.

E.g., Greenough’s George Washington (1840).

Unlike today, this kind of thing was repugnant to most in Congress back then. It was removed from the Capitol Rotunda after a couple years.

Marble sculpture of extremely buff George Washington seated on “throne” and draped in a Roman toga.

There was a #women's half-#marathon in #Kyiv #Ukraine earlier this month called the Kyiv Pink Run (everyone wears pink)

The runners unexpectedly intersected the funeral procession for a fallen warrior in Ukraine's #war against #ethnofascist #imperialism

And then this happened:

(the text in #Ukrainian at the end references their running friend Natalka Samoilenko, killed by Russia in #Bucha in 2022, they were running in her #memory: facebook.com/groups/fartlekua/ )

I have been back making cyanotypes.

Each of of these cyanotypes is a literal memory (as defined by my first philosophy of memory publication!).

Artist life has been hard lately. No change there, really, but it helps to make things.

A piece of white paper which shows creases from being folded into an origami form - in this case a 'square dance kusudama' - and exposed as a cyanotype. This means it has blue geometric patterns all over it - a central diamond, two layers of diagonal lines around that, then a ring of blocks, and triangles at the corners
A piece of white paper which shows creases from being folded into an origami form - in this case a random crushed form focused on the centre - and exposed as a cyanotype. This means it has blue all over it with random white areas. Looks a bit like a white ice shard explosion on a blue background
A piece of white paper which shows creases from being folded into an origami form - in this case a 'crane / orizuru' - and exposed as a cyanotype. This means it has blue geometric patterns all over it - what part of the paper was the head of the crane is top left, wings top right, bottom left, and tail. In the centre is a blurred blue x shape
A piece of white paper which shows creases from being folded into an origami form - in this case a partially completed complex model of a sun - and exposed as a cyanotype. This means it has blue geometric patterns all over it - a central white diamond extends to the centre of all sides, the four large corners are mostly blue in odd triangles with white areas shaped like random stars
