My last #selfie for the algorithm before I deleted IG last weekend. Goodbye after 12 yrs + 50k followers 👋🏾 I couldn’t have done it if I hadn’t gained some traction here, so thank you for following.

I grew up in #punkrock and #anarchist organizing, so moving to #NonCorporate and #decentralized social media feels full circle. I want my #pottery to be part of a future of thought that represents progress and liberation.

Every now and then, I return to the source for #inspiration. I've been taking time away from the studio to celebrate the holidays, spend more time with family and reset. As we creep closer to the end of the year, I'm thinking about what to make, what to express, how to take my work to the next level in 2026. This Nigerian (Igbo) pottery vessel is absolutely magnificent--looks like sewn leather, doesn't it? #pottery #NigerianPottery #ceramics #art #BlackArt #AfricanArt

A large brown ceramic vessel with a wide mouth, everted rim, cylindrical neck with pronounced ridges, and globular body decorated in concentric bands and 'horseshoe' motif. The 'horseshoes' are applied coils of clay and they have been incised in such a way that resembles stitching. The pot is stately and warm in its presence. It has been broken and mended. Height: 41.60 centimetres
Width: 35.50 centimetres.

"Lajok: The Night Dancer" by filmmaker @dilmandila is a spooky revenge fantasy based on Ugandan (Luo) folklore. Dance is used to possess and control but once the spell is broken, the same power can be used for payback.
