I’ve had a lot of feelings about the world lately and it led me to create this artist book.

Here’s some photos of a linocut print I made last semester, gotta love that rot and decay 🪱🍄‍🟫
Three copies of a two plate linoleum print of a woman looking over her shoulder as she decays, covered in fungi.

We Will Look for Love Into Extinction and the Silence Beyond #sciart #birds
A black and white illustration of a Kaua’i ‘ō’ō, a small honeyeater bird. It is sitting on a thin branch that stretches across the canvas above a rectangular black frame. The bird is highlighted with a stippled halo and thin gradient around its mostly-black body. Its head is tilted up and to the left with its beak wide open.

A bioartist’s desk 🐡
A digital still life painting set against a black background. On the left side is a small orange and yellow gourd with a curved neck and stem, resembling a swan. Next to it is a glass jar with a silver metal lid containing a suspended octopus specimen. The octopus is pale red with white undersides and its tentacles are tangled around its body. Around and on top of the jar are pairs of plastic human molars.

I’m taking a class on artist’s books and went a little nuts with some introspection on the animals I interact with. It’s called “the size of curiosity.” #sciart
A page of an unfolded accordion book. There is a yellow spider perched on its web in the top right corner. Beneath it, the paper of the panel is cut away and stitched together with white thread to resemble the webbing. The left half of the page features text that reads: “what does the spider think of me when i place a fly in its web,” with “me” emphasized in larger text. A blue and green house fly sits beneath it in the corner. A spread of an unfolded accordion book. Soft, light gray fabric is sewn onto the top half of the spread, framing a brown Deer Mouse that sits facing left between the pages. To the right of it is text that reads: “do the mice enjoy the soft old blankets in the shed”. A spread of an unfolded accordion book. On the left side, a brown cat sits facing away from the viewer. To the right is sprawling text that reads: “does my cat know the vastness of the meadow when she looks out the window”. A brown frame wraps around the entire spread, and the area between the frame and the cat/text is cut out. A spread of an unfolded accordion book. The top half is cut away in the outline of two mountains. On the left side is text that reads: “and why is my curiosity more valuable than theirs?”. On the right side, a small red-haired figure in blue clothing looks up, standing on the slope of a grassy hill. Behind them are the outlines of pine trees.

Pine Siskin 🌲 I love these little birds!

A black ink realistic illustration of a Pine Siskin, a small bird with black wings and streaky, mottled patterns. It is sitting on a branch with its back turned, but its head faces the viewer.
