Gemini Ink 1111 Navarro St, San Antonio, TX, United States

Are you plagued by stress, fatigue and increased screen time? Many artists and writers feel blocked. Working with found materials can help penetrate blocks and reclaim agency. 

Through erasure, we are able to take existing text and blackout, erase, and obscure what is already written to create a whole new text that talks back to history, institutions, news media, departed souls, and any force that threatens to silence us.
