Happy birthday to botanist & photography trailblazer Anna Atkins (1799-1871), née Children!

Atkins’ mother died when she was still an infant, but she was close with her naturalist father & received a much more scientific education than was common for women in her time. Her 250 detailed engravings of shells were used to illustrate her father’s translation of Lamarck’s ‘Genera of Shells’; 🧵1/n

My portrait of Anna Atkins combines a linocut print illustrating her (a Victorian woman in a dress with lace collar in silver ink on white) with a background of a cyanotype with two white fern leaves silhouettes on a Prussian blue.

Happy birthday to Caroline Herschel (1750 – 1848) a trail blazing woman in #astronomy. Hers was a real life Cinderella story, where rather than marrying a prince, she made a life and career for herself. Marriage her expected role but she was deemed unmarriageable, since a childhood bout of typhus stunted her growth. Her mother thought she should train to be a servant, & purposely stood in the way of her learning French, or music,🧵

You might remember me mentioning that I currently participate in another exhibition at Wyrd #Strasbourg and as part of this exhibition, where all pieces have to be created by at least two artists, several of us filled a sketchbook together. I had the honour of doing the very first page and ofc I cheated a little and painted on black paper that I then glued/taped in there. 😄

A photo of an open portrait-format sketchbook, placed on a wooden table, surrounded by leaves and branches for decoration. The sketchbook page, on black paper, features a thin, gnarled tree that three wooden signs have been fastened to, reading „Welcome to Wyrd“. A small lantern hangs off the spiraling top of the tree, a few tiny insects dancing in the light. Moss and different kinds of mushrooms, some luminescent, adorn the tree and the rocks at its base.

Minz, an edgerunner, just wanted to relax after one exhausting gig. They seem from different worlds, but they share more than they think...Updates arrive each Sunday!
