Body of Water: new sculpture made of paper and foil, inspired by my airplane view over Greenland.

Grandma achievement unlocked.

“Biology Rising: Freshwater Family” the immersive version. @ericbraman.bsky.social and I made made a public art installation based on my original monotypes on circles sculpture, with our poems for the city of Eugene, OR. It was fun to walk through! #installationart #mixedmedia #printmaking #sciart

“Origins” - Getting ready for the Artsake gallery show in Newport, Oregon, during March and April. #sciart #trendingart #biology #sculpture #gallery #art

Documenting my #wire vessels before they head off to For Artsake gallery in Newport, OR. I’ve really enjoyed making them and can’t wait to see how they display them. So many shadows yet to be discovered! Most of these are large, 24” in diameter or so #sciart #sculpture #art #traditionalart #shadows

Volvox in black and white, a 1905 drawing by Frank P. Smith:

I’m on a podcast talking about creativity and grief. Public radio in southern Oregon, 14 minutes long, not too terrible. #sciart #creativity #art #grief : www.ijpr.org/show/the-jef...

We found a red-legged frog egg mass and a salamander egg mass in this pond that’s being restored! Plus I got to hang out with scientists. Thanks #umpquawatershed #biology #botany #sciart #science

I met the #scientists: lucky me, I found the good people at Umpqua Watershed this week. They loaned me a microscope to view some volvox from the North Umpqua River, invited me to muck about in a pond to count salamanders, and figure out an art installation for Earth Day, too. #biology #sciart #art

Here is a current iteration of my “Biology Rising” installation which explores Volvox, the freshwater algae that forms daughter colonies inside their mother cells and collaborate to survive. This column form glows at night. Made of #monotypes on tissue paper, dipped in beeswax. #sciart #biology

I spotted this glorious limb from a madrone tree weeks ago on the side of the twisty road that snakes its way along the ridge of the river, up to my house. It’s in a precarious spot for cars, so I haven’t stopped, but today I got brave and grabbed it! #sciart #trees #sculpture #art #botany #nature

Such a great show yesterday at @portlandartmuseum.bsky.social Fine Art Print Fair yesterday where I got to meet @kindracrick.com Julia Ildham and the great folks at Sitka Art Center.

Going to this tomorrow, excited to see @kindracrick.com !

#Biology Rising: My version of volvox, the freshwater algae where daughter colonies live inside their mother cells and work together to move towards the light to survive. We are in a volvox moment, now. These are hand printed monotypes on sewing patterns, dipped in beeswax. #sciart #STEAM #art

Also, here’s Lulu, my dog. She loves everything and everyone except lettuce and mean people. #dogs #blueskydogs #smile #joy

I made this last summer in #jeanshin’s Creative Reuse sculpture workshop at Anderson Ranch in Aspen. It’s 24” H, but I hope to make it huge someday for outdoors. Anyone else doing #publicart ? #sculpture #art #sciart #installationart #natureart #contemporaryart #fiberart #artworkshop #reuse #upcycle

My “origins” installation makes me think of the beginning of life emerging from the deep. I’m using hand twisted baling wire for these “seed pod” shapes, and hand printed the green background and spheres inside on a gel pad. Wonderful shadows at twilight! #sciart #art #printmaking #installationart

Here is my “Biology Rising”installation in a column, hanging from the ceiling. Circles are made of monotypes on tissue from old seeing patterns, glued to wire circles and dipped in beeswax, then lit from below. #sciart #printmaking #sculpture #installationart #STEAM #art

“Biology Rising” in my solarium made of hundreds of hand-pulled monotypes on tissue paper, dipped in beeswax. Reminds me of Volvox, freshwater algae that form daughter colonies in their mother cells, and collaborate to move towards the light to survive #sculpture #installationart #science #STEM #art

Making creatures out styrofoam - I loved the creative re-use workshop with Jean Shin at Anderson Ranch last summer #art #installationart #sculpture #printmaking #contemporaryart #mixedmedia #gelliprinting #ceramics #gelpad #etc

I also love #fiberart and #wiresculpture Here I am with my #artinstallation where I’ve made #monoprints on paper and fabric, using a gel pad. Sorry for the plethora of hashtags, Hoping to find more #art folks here!

Hello artists! Can we edit posts here? How? Any lists I should follow? I hereby and forthwith shall add more hashtags to see more #art #installationart #sculpture #printmaking #contemporaryart #mixedmedia #gelliprinting #ceramics #gelpad #etc. to my feed.

@megitadenton painted this and I bought it and now I’m the luckiest.

Twisting wire calms me down. Whats your creative act to combat anxiety?

Walking through my “Whispering Roots” art installation in Eugene, Oregon. Hand printed Fabric and paper, along with wire, and found objects.

“Emerging” - wire and monotype on paper in front of hand printed fabric. I use a gel pad to print on these forms. #sculpture #monotypes #printmaking #fiberart #wiresculpture #art #artistsonbluesky

Messing about with wire and paper pulp, a learning process which makes my brain happy. #art #wiresculpture #fiberart #sculpture #blueskyart #papercraft #paperart

Hello Bluesky! I’m seeing to connect with more #artists. I work with paper, fiber, mixed media and found objects to make sculpture and installation art. The Evolution of Language” is made of paper and wire, dipped in beeswax. #art #installationart #paperart #finerart #sculpture

I also do #assemblage sometimes, especially when someone gives me a doll-head and some film.

Part of my “Whispering Roots” installation, made with fabric and paper hand printed using a #gellipad Any other #printmaking #installationart and #fiberart #sculptors out there?

Lulu and me. Anyone else ha e smiley #dogs?

Making sculpture out of crab bait traps. As one does.

Here is some of my recent work: I do installations, sculpture, mixed media and painting. I use a #gellipad to print on fabric, paper and objects. #printmaking #fiberart #installationart #publicart

Hey BlueSky! Nice to be here. Any other #artists I should follow?
