For #BrainAwarenessWeek I’m sharing my brainiest #SciArt #embroidery pieces. Here’s woman in skull (2016), not a brain per se, but the part of the skull where the brain sits, imagined as an architectural space.

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

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.

Hello from Aurora Bear! Beneath the sky’s celestial flare, A bear is born from fire and air. Reds and greens in frozen flight, A whisper of the Northern Lights #art #ceramics #gaybear #furryart #sciart

From our recent raku firing, The Cosmic Forge Born of fire, veiled in night, Holding echoes, stars ignite. Embers dance in spectral hues, A vessel where the cosmos brews. #sciart #space #magic

For #BrainAwarenessWeek I’m sharing my brainiest #SciArt #embroidery pieces. Here’s neuraesthenia (2017), a piece depicting the heaviness I feel during post-exertional malaise (PEM). PEM often starts in my cognition then spreads out through my body.

#WIPWednesday • I finished stitching my heart/vagus piece but need to wash and wet block it. I’ve only just started my next project so I’ll share that next week!

Sometimes, updating a Data Art piece is just too much of an emotional drain. And the piece must remain out of date.

But to be honest, that's part of the piece itself.

For #BrainAwarenessWeek I’m sharing my brainiest #SciArt #embroidery pieces. Here’s she was tributaries (2016), a depiction of the electrical storm I feel in my brain when I have cognitive fatigue from #MECFS.

Our latest raku owl, 'Nebula's Eye' looks through time and space to reflect the beauty of you, of us all, and all that is. Nebula’s Eye gazes through the dark, A silent watcher, a cosmic spark. In the vast expanse, it stands alone, A quiet sentinel, far from home. #owl #space #sciart #spaceart

For #InternationalWomensDay a short thread of my ongoing series of portraits of women in science through history. If you look for them, they’re there. I’m up to 67 now! Here’s to the day when a scientist’s sex is no longer remarkable in any field!

It’s #WorldHearingDay to raise awareness about hearing health and accessibility. Here’s my #SciArt #embroidery of the cochlea/inner ear which I did while researching my symptoms of hyperacusis.

Years ago, I was asked to make a print for a missing element in a gallery show of the Periodic Table Printmaking Project, which gathered prints by different artists for each element . This small linocut represents the chemical element Silicon, with its diamond cubic crystal structure shown in silver. Its symbol, atomic number and a couple of its forms are shown in lilac. Silicon is common in the Earth’s crust 1/n
