Happy birthday to #biochemist Marie Maynard Daly (1921-2003), 1st Black woman to earn a PhD in #chemistry in the US! She made important research contributions to our understanding of the biochemisty of the cell nucleus & cardiovascular issues & the chemistry of histones & protein synthesis. She established that “no bases other than adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine were present in appreciable amounts” in DNA - 🧵

My linocut portrait of Marie Maynard Daly in purples (she’s a young smiling Black woman, wearing earrings, a necklace and a dress, looking at the viewer over her shoulder). Above her to the right is an anatomical heart with a blowout diagram in a circle of a clogged artery and the cholesterol molecule all in red. Next to her on the left in blue are the molecules of the bases which make up DNA and a diagram of a human cell.

Thinking about pollinators, so sharing a favourite. This is a hand-printed lino block print of the charming Hummingbird Clearwing moth (Hermaris thysbe) seeking pollen from cherry blossoms. The olive-headed burgundy moth has transparent wings (though colour can be variable). It beats its wings rapidly to hover above flowers, like a hummingbird, meaning it is often confused with a hummingbird or bee. It has a 5 cm wingspan. 🧵

My linocut print of a hovering hummingbird clearwing moth above a branch of cherry blossoms on ivory Japanese kozo paper, 8” x 8”. The moth has an olive coloured head, burgundy back and wings (with transparent windows), black elsewhere including eye, and antennae. The branch is brown with pink/purple and white blossoms.

Ok I'm making a new intro post to try to find more of "my" people out here.

I like the #indieweb, #aquarium keeping, #printmaking and other #art, I'm in #arteducation in various capacities (higher ed, hospitals, schools), force-free #dogtraining and #americanhistory (esp the #civilwar).

I am moving to #baltimore in two weeks after years of planning and trying to make friends :) Social and outdoorsy. #sober and a little #woo after #longcovid recovery.

a jumble of Feynman diagrams and coloured shapes with a Bauhaus feel.

*I am somewhat dubious of this date because a) I was trained to use the metric convention day/month/year and b) physicists use the reduced constant h-bar (that’s h divided by 2 pi) and then, cause it’s easier they just change units such that h-bar = 1 but it’s as good an excuse as any

"The black sleep". Monotype, 31x18cm.

Inspired by a 1930s photo I stumbled on, of a girl sleeping on a boat deck, where I like the strong perspective. Also, the position of her hands. That's why I tried to keep only that and her face to see what it would look like.

I'm happy with my black background, compared to previous attempts at the same process. Applying the ink with a good brayer was the key.

Black ink monotype print, on a wide landscape layout, of a girl sleeping. We see only her hands and her face, turned to the right, that appear as white over a fully black background.
