"When frogs dream, lichens smile. Ecological connections were explored anew. Artists recorded conversations of small creatures. People sat fascinated in flower meadows. Children laughed in the forest with knobbly mosses and chatty ants."

Disover my virtual exhibit of #BiodiversityShrines - about finds in a fictional future: https://www.cronenburg.net/biodiversity/
It was a real exhibit, now saved online.

#biodiversity #sciArt #archaeology #solarpunk #sporespondence #lichen #ecology #reconnectWithNature #art

A hanging collage in green, white and orange tones with natural finds. The most important parts of this abstract collage are wooden sticks (one with a bright orange lichen), a real lichen with embroidery stitches in silk yarn, a small porcellaine frog and a historic illustration of water plants.

ALT

The zoom on the abstract collage shows the two wooden sticks and the embroidered real grey lichen on a background of textile scraps and intuitive embroidery. One stick is lemon tree without bark, the stick with bark is cobered with a bright orange lichen. This colour is repeated in the stitches on the real grey lichen.

Today is also International Crow and Raven Appreciation Day and I for one, appreciate the corvids. They are extraordinarily intelligent birds! Here is my murder of crows, part of my #termsOfVenery series of collective nouns for animals series of prints.

The raven is the official bird of the Yukon, in my print with the official flora, fireweed.

Lastly my crow print, inspired by a photo my husband took.

A linocut print in the shape of the Yukon filled with violet fireweed behind a black raven.

Linocut of a group of four crows facing different directions and the words ‘A murder of crows.’ The word murder is red and looks like it was written on a typewriter. There are red crow tracks leading from it to the crows. Everything else is printed in black.

Happy birthday to #physicist Harriet Brooks (1876 - 1933) who discovered atomic recoil, Radon & recognized radioactive elements could undergo chains of transmutations into a series of new elements. #nuclear #physics⁠
⁠
She was Rutherford’s 1st grad student at McGill. After publishing her results in 1899 she completed her MSc in 1901 on “Damping of Electrical Oscillations,” before embarking on #radioactivity research.⁠ 🧵
⁠ #linocut #printmaking #sciart #womenInSTEM #histsci

My 9.25" x 12.5" linocut portrait of physicist Harriet Brooks (1876 - 1933) in a gradient of turquoise to green, shows her and her discovery of atomic recoil in gold (Radon gives off an alpha particle and daughter nucleus goes in opposite direction). A series of diagrams at the bottom shows how the Rutherford research group understood chains of radioactive active transmutations at the time.
