A piece of shale painted as though it has a trilobite fossil with skeletal bat wings. It’s against an orangey red background and propped on an ornate metal stand.

A figure made of clouds stands beneath a transmission tower. An all-seeing eye gazes from the top. The words "oracle" is seen faintly at the top of the page.

A very evil hourglass! I found this hour-glass in a junk shop, and for some reason I thought it needed a very evil looking wood frame. So here it is.

This Green Lady is a reminder to learn from the past and to instil hope for the future, under her watchful eyes the world will find its balance once more.

Going to be on display at the Enchanted Brush show at the Mazza Museum.

I helped draft this open letter about last Friday’s gold standard science executive order. Take a look and consider signing if you agree.

🚨 URGENT RESPONSE CALL 🚨

Trump’s Fool’s Gold Science EO is a dangerous sham.
It gives his appointees the power to dismiss entire bodies of research and punish researchers who fail to fall in line with his agenda.

This is one of a series, each unique, of my hand made cyanotypes on watercolour paper with an image of a cloud-filled sky overprinted with my linocut print of several kites, and wind-socks each collaged with beautiful Japanese washi papers. 🧵1/2

#linocut #printmaking #cyanotype #ChildrensDay
As described, this is a blue and white cyanotype print on watercolour paper (11” x 14”) of a cloudy sky. On top I printed a gold linocut of many kites and windsocks, including some shaped like koi fish, a cicada, a fan, a bird and various geometric shapes. Each kite is printed onto various collaged coloured and patterned Japanese washi papers.

A black and white photograph shows a curved road leading towards a lighthouse. The lighthouse has a striped pattern and is positioned by the river. The road is marked with white lines and is flanked by trees on one side. The sky is bright, creating a stark contrast with the dark road. Power lines stretch across the upper part of the image.

I’m so happy with how this turned out! Stay tuned for more information on stickers (and maybe prints and shirts?) but for the time being, if you’re looking for posters to flyer, I have the uncompressed .jpeg on my Ko-Fi for free!
