My Revolutionaries

Elfrede has discussed the physical and mechanical type of revolution, being rotation. I wanted to explore a different type of
Revolutie vs Rotatie
Janine has already told us that Revolution and Rotation have a common origin in Latin. Jacque’s poignant opinion has opened the eyes of all of us, I think, to what is going on in America at the moment. At the time, we didn’t know anything about the terrible meeting
Peaceful Revolution?
When I think of revolution, most images are about rough and hard fighting, demonstrations, people being hurt, killed, murdered and general chaos.

Silence More Eloquent
This was a challenging prompt. Words have become weapons in our current political environment. The words spoken are meant to silence those who are not in agreement with current policies and beliefs. This is happening in our workplaces, our schools, our medical communities, our art venues. It seeps into our
What Are You Saying?
This prompt was exciting ( at first) then it gave me TOO many ideas! I thought about it right till the last day and finally this is what I decided. The title of my piece should clue you in. I know other artists who use Assemic writing constantly and I
