There’s 3 little “Cutie Candy Corn” brooches up on my Depop shop looking for new homes in time for the spoopy season! Message me if you’d prefer to order directly through PayPal instead of Depop.
Making these sweet cuties is so tedious but the end result is worth it! They add a bright festive spot of colour to black outfits and Halloween-inspired fashion. xo

As many of you know, I took a long break from drawing to focus on my health, almost a year! So I’m feeling super anxious and my stills are stunted and rusty. I’ve spent whatever time I could manage this year to work in my sketchbook, starting to have fun and trying some new things. So get ready for upcoming sketchbook shots!
These two were just for practice, referencing instagram photos (I’m so sorry I don’t remember the accounts! Link me if you recognise!), but not very heavily. I didn’t have anything planned, just taking time to scribble and enjoy my Kuretake markers in a different way. xo

This is one of the last commissions I completed early this year, before taking a break from them for a while. I loved the concept - a depiction of the lunar goddess, Artemis. But it was also a challenge to match this design to the style and colour palette of the client’s pre-existing tattoo they wished to pair with it (one of the goddess Athena). A great experience and a lovely client to work with. Here’s some detail shots at the first line art stage. xo

Can you describe your art / poetry / writing / music and your artistic process?
I don’t have one main style of art – I dabble in poetry, crafts (lately paper engineering), illustrations and comics – but my recent performances have been autobiographical story-telling. In terms of story-telling, my artistic process could be defined as an unorganized temper tantrum. I tend to start my creation from an inspired spark - usually an epiphany about different threads in my life that make me especially angry, or a feeling that I have never been able to put into words. I work on a story to give voice to the experience, or, rather, I unsuccessfully try to squish about 10 different stories together. After countless edits, additions, and feedback from my trusted friends, the next phase is where I get frustrated, hate everyone, and decide I’m a horrible writer. When I’m lucky enough to have a deadline looming, I reluctantly continue to edit, and then hopefully, kill my darlings (or set them aside for next time), and end up with an arc to follow. This year, I have been working on moving past the words and embracing the emotional arc, trusting my body to do what it needs to on stage. Music has been an essential part of helping this happen.
What does gender justice mean to you and how does your work explore themes related to gender and social justice?
This question is daunting because gender justice means so many things, and yet in its essence, I suppose, it means that women, and gender non-conforming people, get to live, and live fully.
The piece I’ll be performing at the Sakhi event is about how our bodies are claimed and controlled when it comes to reproduction. This reality, which I was always somewhat aware of, really slapped me in the face when my body was finally “deemed ready for reproduction” (ie, married to a cis-man). For example, information on monthly changes in cervical fluid, body temperature, etc, and how that correlates to the cycle the inside of our body follows is information that is really passed onto us in great detail when we’re given books and apps on how to get pregnant. Had I known this information when I was a teenager, I would have actually like I owned my own body (a feeling I revel in now even though I’m no longer trying to get pregnant). It is incredibly empowering knowledge – so it’s not a surprise that it’s kept from us. So although my story is very narrowly focused on a few specific anecdotes, it’s actually about the way I, as a human being, have been controlled. In fact, the spark of anger that started this story wasn’t about pregnancy at all, it was getting married and how that tiny legal act seemed to come with a complete redefinition of me, against my will, as a wife. In either case – getting married or reproductive control - what I’m not allowed to do is live my life, fully.
Who is an Asian American artist / writer / performer that inspires you and why?
Alok Vaid-Menon. I haven’t had the pleasure of seeing the Dark Matter duo, but I finally saw Alok at last year’s Sakhi Gender Justice and the Arts event and I was blown away. They are an incredible artist, performer, and poet, and that alone is inspiring. I scribbled down quotes from the evening, and one that has given me strength this past year was “I don’t believe you have to have hope to keep trying”. I follow them on Instagram now and even their Instagram feed inspires me! @alokvmenon
What can Sakhi supporters look forward to seeing from you at Bowery on 7/31?
I am a non-singer. Just a couple of years ago I didn’t even sing to myself in the shower, I only sang in muttered breathe under really loud music because I had way too much shame. I pushed myself on a whim. I felt like a hypocrite as a champion and supporter of all people having a voice, muzzling my own voice. Somehow (through a long, terrifying journey), I’ve now sung in front of a total of 390 people! So you can look forward to a terrified, bad singer, pushing herself on stage, and my gratitude to you being part of my journey.
What’s your favorite thing about summer in New York?
Fireflies in abandoned lots.
Riti Sachdeva is a theatre maker, dancer, cultural worker, and a featured artist in Sakhi’s upcoming show, “Gender Justice + The Arts: An Asian American Showcase” at Bowery Poetry Club on 7/31! She has been creating art in some shape, form, or rhythm for twenty five years, incorporating text, installation, and dance into her work. Born in India, she is deeply influenced by the vast land, history, mythology and people of her origins. Raised in the U.S., her work is marked by the social and political climate of the Americas.
Can you describe your art / poetry / writing / music and your artistic process?
This particular piece, an excerpt from a full length “solo” show I’m developing, is a mash up of cabaret, memoir, and mysticism.
Each process is different. In the process for this excerpt, I’ve written a rough draft after weeks of dreaming on it. Now I’ll be in the rehearsal room with director Rebecca Martinez and musician Sweet Lee Odom to manifest it from page to stage.
In the rehearsal process, the script will most likely go through changes: throwing out what’s too much explanation, bringing in what needs more information, seeing where movement and embodiment can replace text, exploring how the clarinet will underscore, accent, mimic, negate attitudes and actions in the text… lots of work to do these next few weeks.
What does gender justice mean to you and how does your work explore themes related to gender and social justice?
Gender justice spans and delves into almost every aspect of my life. It means parity and opportunity, and also, aesthetic, content, process, voice.
I specifically sought out a female musician and director for this piece. For their visibility, for their particular talents, perspectives, skills, communication styles… and the possibility of collaborating in a an honest and generous way.
I’m looking at gender and social justice in the personal, political, and spiritual which are all ultimately intertwined.
Who is an Asian American artist / writer / performer that inspires you and why?
So many!
The singer Susheela Raman - so sensual, deep, diasporic, and funny! Listening a lot to Karvika, lately, too - powerful blend of east and west. Pianist Kieko Matsui - love writing with her music playing - both melancholy and faithful. Playwrights Mashuq Deen and Susan Soon He Stanton for their persistence and daring. Recently was introduced to performance artist Maya Krishna Rao - totally wild and smart.
What can Sakhi supporters look forward to seeing from you at Bowery on 7/31?
They can look forward to experiencing a spell of sorts. Sweet Lee is a dedicated, disciplined, soulful horn player and Rebecca Martinez is a thoughtful, no nonsense, adventurous director. The three of us are brewing some majik.
What’s your favorite thing about summer in New York?
Free concerts in the parks!!!!!

Thank you for this feature @_causette_ Magazine. I’m looking forward to the day when it is perceived as militant to diminish and deride the clitoris. Until then, I’ll continue to wear the badge of militancy with pride. #cliteracy #sophiawallace #clitoris #thereisnolack #overandoverandover #feministart #feministartist #feminism #bodypolitics #textart #minimalism #instaart #artstagram #instalove #artistprofile #activistart #politicalart #neonart #neon #contemporaryart #frenchfeminism #globalfeminism #queer (at France)
