#introduction
Hello dear fediverse,

I’m Osden, a visual artist (sculpture, installation, video, & more) deeply interested in human/non-human relationships, art as speculative fiction, more just futures, ecological responsibility, and place-responsive & community engaged art.

I’m masc-leaning & non-binary, pansexual; Mad & chronically ill; a uni prof in studio art; kinda wordy; and go by Sheri as a professional/public pseudonym.

Cycling, hiking, seed harvesting, seed bombs, DIY community projects, & harm reduction are some of my great loves. I’m nerdy about native plants & hide-tanning; forever in awe of nature.

Doing my best to enact care in the face of so much local and global injustice. 🆓 🇵🇸

@[email protected] After cutting away the piece I made the ladle out of there was a thin curved scrap section which was the wood between the top of the bowl and the outer bark side of the extreme curve in the log. I decided to sand and shellac the surface so folks could see the crazy internal beauty in pieces of wood with interesting curves. https://makertube.net/w/vVNPZPSyrgouGqCvTCw7vq #WoodCarving 3/4

@so_nault Welcome to Mastodon! If you’re not already aware of #SolarPunkSunday, I think you might love both that hashtag and many of the folks who use it. They share a ton of your hobbies and interests.
@lydiaschoch Just took a look and it is absolutely a great recommendation, thank you!
@so_nault cycling, hiking, seed bombs.
This old ldy relates :)
@geonz these things and art are what keep my soul nourished so I can keep going in the face of all the horrors ! Your account description has me thinking you’ve probably got some wonderful takes on pedagogy, too!
@so_nault I love finding kindred spirits ;)
@so_nault hi Osden, welcome:)
@so_nault Welcome! The bike community on here is very active, both recreational and transportation/practical riders. We use #BikeTooter and have a weekly asynchronous chat called #BikeNite on Friday evenings (ish, depending on your time zone).
@SRLevine amazing, thank you for these rec’s!
