We are all multi-hyphenate. How can we reframe what it means to be more than one thing and embrace our multiplicities? We talked to artist Jessica Hiemstra, whose work spans many different mediums, from essays and poetry to children's books to murals to large-scale installations, about how she navigates doing a lot. Our wide-ranging conversation spanned how we embrace being big in the world to the tabs we keep open in our lives to what we can learn from beavers. She is truly a gem!
Jessica makes. Have a look.

The Thinking Heart: the Etty Drawings (1983–1984) by Claire Wilks (a collaboration coming soon)
We have a contest coming up that will give one lucky winner the opportunity to grow their own ingredients for this salad…interest piqued?! Watch for details 🍅
This salad is made up of what I had on hand in the fridge AND what is slowly emerging from my wee garden:
Ingredients:
Baby tomatoes
Cucumber
Parsley
Basil
Goat cheddar
(I didn’t have any red onion on hand for this salad but it would have been perfect in it)
Kielbasa from last week’s charcuterie board or this perfectly crunchy baked tofu would also be delicious
Salad dressing:
Equal parts olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard + salt and pepper to taste
