I have always made collage art — years ago (circa 1994, pre-Etsy) I made a bunch of collage art pins I thought I could sell. They didn’t sell, and I ended up giving most of them away, except these two, which now feel tender and prescient, a prelude to so much of what I went on to experience, write, and create after I made them — weary, brave emblems of my survival. #tbt #collageart #blackart #survivingthewhitegaze
