Interview With Molly Dunham, West Trestle Review
I interviewed the lovely collage artist, Molly Dunham, for the July 2020 issue of WTR. Over Zoom, we discussed her journey through art as a woman, mother, and spiritual person.
"There have been a lot of forces in my life that have separated me from my body. Growing up in a religion where I had to live a spiritual life of the mind, or the spirit, the body was an inconvenient, human thing that was somehow inherently sinful . . . The body is not a bad, or sinful thing, but a beautiful instrument. To be used to make art!" - Molly Dunham
Revelations in Isolation, PubLab
"The editors use a feminist lens to overshadow queer experiences for the sake of their own ideology. Indeed, when queerness is re-framed as a way to celebrate “womanhood,” it suggests that being attracted to women is a political decision, rather than a person’s authentic truth."
In this book critique, I examine the nuanced ways in which white, heterosexual feminism erases the much broader gender issues that people face worldwide.
Rattlesnake Dick, Roundhouse News & Review
I wrote this obituary/history piece about a Gold Rush outlaw, local to my hometown. The tale of Rattlesnake Dick reveals a centuries-old problem of the prison system within America.
"Throughout the 1850s, the Canadian-born miner-turned-thief and his gang were known criminals, meeting their end in a shootout in Auburn. Yet the circumstances which built his pathway to crime are often not as well known as the more dramatic parts of his life."
Art Activity, Stone Soup
"As I looked more closely at all of Lingfei’s work, I saw that the bright indigo and yellow color scheme appeared in her paintings in addition to “Cat House.” The similar colors provide a thread that connects all of her work together, making it feel more united and whole."
