Wands + Fetishes (2016-present)

This wand making thing all started in the fall of 2016 when I was about to leave for a political canvassing trip. I found a dried plant that looked like a wand and my traveling companions and I made a collective wish for a smooth trip.

We forgot to wish for the main event—that our candidate would win the election. After election day, I began to make wands of all kinds from sticks and remnants of various kinds—bits of ribbon, feathers, an orphaned earring—anything I could find.

Some people knit. I like to make wands and fetishes.

I have made fertility fetishes for a long time, which have had a good track record.

I regard wands as a beautiful and intriguing object that can also be an instrument for the recipient’s intentions. My one request is that people remember to WISH BIG.
