Thank you for your writing! As a metalsmith I enjoyed the hammer metaphor and also thought you might appreciate how it can be wielded in so, so many ways as we have many, many specialized hammers for specific purposes! There are tiny riveting hammers used with precision—some even “hammer set” precious stones. Planishing hammers form and texture. Chasing hammers (along with chasing tools) sculpt metal into relief forms and images. Raising hammers are used for forming vessels from flat sheet via many patient concentric blows with annealing in between… !
Not to add to your list, but the Made with Artist Intelligence paper cut would be an amazing sticker. Just saying!
Oh don’t you worry, I’m working on it 😍
I definitely needed the Bread and Puppet piece today. Making manifestos is a perfect idea!
Everything they make is amazing ❤️
I love the idea of my own Artist Manifesto. I'm gonna work on this.
Report back. Would love to see yours! Maybe we need manifesto zines?
Ooh good idea!
Such a powerful written piece Anna! Thank you!!
