A pal noted that it was weird that 41st VT governor Nelson Fisk had a Wikipedia page while his wife Elizabeth Hubbell Fisk, who had revitalized a kind of woven textile art, did not.

I wrote one. I will note that some of this is "Bored rich white lady finds something to do and Vermont likes to write about their own" but some was definitely not and I enjoyed learning about her and scaring up old sources from the Wayback Machine and Newspapers.com

The trading posts in are impressive. With Zuni Pueblo, the Navajo Nation, and Hopi in close proximity, the density of artistic talent in the immediate area is impressive.

I'm overdue on laundry so ended up accidentally cobbling together an outfit out of -themed things even though it didn't fit the day at all. Delightful necklace from the Peculiarity Shop. And I taught three students in with how to set up the loom and weave.

RIP Faith Ringgold, who worked for years un(der) recognised by the mainstream art word but in recent years has become seen as the great innovator she was - bridging painting & textiles and responding to the (now more recognised) exclusion of the work of both women & non-white artists from the history of art....

Here are two of her works making direct reference to the every issues

Sorry for the vagueness - it's not deliberate I'm just trying to figure out the right words. The pictures will hopefully help.
