On the way home earlier, I paid attention to the mountain roads with their bends, the cyclists and hikers, and at the same time, recognised a #dragonfly at the edge of the forest. Today I'm really happy with my brain. 😄 #biodiversity #BiodiversityShrines #AtelierTetebrec

Small Is The New Great! How to fight against the sludge of 2025 - and how the tiniest things can change the world. I would be happy if you can find some hope in my new blogpost: ▶️ https://steadyhq.com/en/naturematchcuts/posts/025f4904-2364-4711-8907-f7e55841993f

To all the pain monsters living and munching in vertebrae: This is your shrine. 🤭

PS: Thanks to @eclectech who showed me that *everything* can have eyes. 😁

I'm happy like a small child to have found these #treasures at our international #embroidery festival! So great for my #BiodiversityShrines!

Even more important are the talks: With an author of embroidery books who sold these "scraps", and the employee of the #naturepark was just as enthusiastic as I was and asked me if I would like to join her in organising children's courses with #handicrafts on #biodiversity. Oh yesss! 🥰

#Microscopic for #SciArtSeptember insights in my #BiodiversityShrines project. I had a real exhibition, still online with photos here: https://www.cronenburg.net/reliquaires/ In calmer times, I want to make more ... the material is waiting. But I need a lot of inner peace and patience for this kind of work. @embroidery @fiberarts @fibrearts

It is no longer possible for me to make "normal" #art. The #exhibition of my #BiodiversityShrines is meant to be #activism but also to encourage people to change their perspective through the #sciFi #fiction #storytelling. For me, it was a project to learn to deal with my #EcoGrief. And it's a hell of a lot of fun! In #Alsace with a QR code leading to the #virtualVisit in Fr/En/De: ▶️ https://www.cronenburg.net/reliquaires/ You'll see moss! #biodiversity #climateActivism #biodiversityLoss #butterflies #mosstodon

Es ist verrückt viel Arbeit. Die noch unkorrigierte Fassung meiner virtuellen #Ausstellung zur echten im #Museum online.

C'est un travail de fou. La version non corrigée de mon #exposition virtuelle sur la vraie au #musée est en ligne.

Virtual visit of my expo of #BiodiversityShrines (still a not corrected language disaster).

🧵 1/2 Preparing the texts for my exhibition of the #BiodiversityShrines feels so cringe! 😱 The texts are written in 2043, like this one (still uncorrected):
"The exhibit is probably a so-called supplication stick, as it was widely made at that time. People who did not want to despair of the indifference towards #ClimateChange and the #extinction of species made the supplication sticks and passed them around in a circle in a #ritual.

"Du pain, du vin et du boursin" - #artInProcess #artInProgress One of my #BiodiversityShrines -- here a try about #FoodSecurity not yet finished. (The French publicity was the first in television in 1968, changing the way of manipulation and consumerism completely.) #embroidery #PoliticalStitching #Activism #assemblage #ArtActivism #crops #wheat #grain #Klosterarbeiten #biodiversityLoss #craftivism

Finally, the idea for my #exhibition! " #Archaeologists made a revolutionary #discovery in 2033. In the vicinity of pottery shards from the late Betschdorf and Soufflenheim cultures (early 21st century), they found objects reminiscent of ancient #reliquaries. An antique QR code will be provided for you to visit this page. You can also beam up in the form of a hologram." 😎 😂 ▶️ https://www.cronenburg.net/reliquaires/ #SciArt #ArtActivism #BiodiversityShrines #BiodiversityLoss #archaeology #butterflies

Finally the penny has dropped! I have an exhibition showcase at a rather conservative #embroidery festival. My #BiodiversityShrines are provocative in a region with farmers who spray pesticides twice when the soil is broken (their logic) and far too many people vote for Le Pen. My idea: I build them up as #archaeological #museum exhibits from the #future! #Subversive. Catch them by #beauty and #colours and when they are hooked ... bang! 😁 #EcoArt #ArtActivism #assemblage #activism #biodiversity

Today, I finished a new one of my #BiodiversityShrines feat. Jordanita subsolana, a #butterfly now extinct in our region. My #shrines are a mixture of #paperArt #nature, elements of #culturalHeritage materials and "civilisation" #waste, like the 8 cm wide cheese box and the precious #plastic-cement-waste. My inspirations come from #klosterarbeiten, #reliquaries #naturalHistory #museums and my brain.

My work today on the #BiodiversityShrines was mainly the old technique of #perlage = #beading. On social media it's often called #FrenchBeading, but in France, we don't say that. Differences in beading technique are less national than temporal. Victorian techniques, f. e., differed from those of the Renaissance. Perlage was traditionally used for costumes, headdresses or so-called #klosterarbeiten like #reliquaries.

1/ O holy laziness! I decided not to go to the museum because rainy 14°C is not so much comfortable for sitting outside. I will enjoy the pleasant coolness in my studio before the heat returns. My excuse: So many #BiodiversityShrines for the exhibition in October are not ready yet. (Look on the hashtag for more). So I'm going to skewer #endangered species (don't worry, it's #PaperArt). #NatureArt #assemblages #artistsOfMastodon #EcoArt #activism #BiodiversityLoss #ClimateAction #FolkArt #kinship

2/2 Another one of my #cigarette #BiodiversityShrines The article in the box is about Ectopistes migratorius, a wild pigeon extinct in 1914: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passenger_pigeon A history of colonisation and commercialisation!

1/2 #LostSpecies vanish like a #cigarette. This was my first connotation when I discovered some #vintage cigarette boxes for my #BiodiversityShrines. Inspired by ancient #klosterarbeiten, they contain fantasy species, precious materials like #perlage and "civilisation" #waste. The realistic #PaperArt #butterfly sits on #wire found in a flowerless meadow. #BiodiversityLoss My #shrines are a project for an exhibition in October. #mixedmedia #ArtInABox #assemblageArt #artActivism #embroidery

#BiodiversityShrines The #butterfly Colias Palaeno was native in #Alsace in Eastern #France. It is now extinct even in the nature parks of the #Vosges. Since 1980 it vanished in 4 French Departments, which was 33% of its habitat. Its #extinction is humanmade by destroying #wetlands. The butterfly was particularly vulnerable because it depends on a single #bog plant: Vaccinium uliginosum. Micro habitats shall protect them. #Lepidoptera #biodiversityLoss #FibreArts @fibrearts #NatureArt #Activism

I mostly work on 2-3 #BiodiversityShrines at a time. Colias palaeno once was a typical #butterfly of the #Vosges, today it is probably #extinct. Its problem: #wetlands as habitat were destroyed or vanish now by #droughts. The butterfly feeds exclusively on Vaccinium uliginosum, but this plant needs wetlands and colder climate. The #shrine is made from #packaging #waste. #WorkInProgress #NatureArt #BiodiversityLoss #Alsace #reliquary #Reliquien #extinctSpecies #ClimateChange #Colias

Working on my #BiodiversityShrines showing endangered or extinct regional species. They are inspired by ancient #klosterarbeiten and #reliquaries. I looked for a way to confront people with #biodiversityLoss in #beauty, far away from #disaster reports or pedagogical warnings. #Art has the power to excite questions and talks! #ArtInProgress All #shrines are #upcycled of #packaging #waste. One part of the #butterfly will be hidden. #JordanitaSubsolana #endangeredSpecies #Alsace #PaperArt

#InverteFest Directly from my #wunderkammer! A veritable #bookworm in all phases of life. This Helluo librorum was found in a French private #library and prepared by a #museum employee.

The larvae are exceptionally shy of light. Studies by the Page Institute for Global Lignine Research show: Imagines are extremely rare, they only develop with adequate reading. Feeding alternative: #Brain #orchids.

Today I joined the show working in our #CulturalHeritage centre. Finally, cultural life again!😊

I have just arranged: a #VisibleMending course in May, one for #ArtJournals in June and a showcase for my #BiodiversityShrines at the Autumn Festival.
Now I have to quickly write the publicity texts, calculate the prices and create lots of art.🙂

If you are interested in this work: My #BiodiversityShrines are an art project about #BiodiversityLoss, formally inspired by ancient #klosterarbeiten and traditional #crafts like #perlage. The project lives from the contrasts between packaging waste and precious objects. Some photos: https://mastodon.online/@NatureMC/109930919605775775

And here you find an article about my latest inspirations from #CulturalHeritage with many photos: https://www.cronenburg.net/treasures/

@plants Thank you for the feedback!😊 I do love these colours and the beauty of even the smallest scraps.
Do you perhaps know if there are any projects in India where you can buy the leftovers directly from the women who work in production so that more money benefits them? I bought these leftovers from an importer in Germany. Here in France, it's nearly unknown. #VisibleMending #Collage #BiodiversityShrines #LuckyCharm #TextileArt #PaperArt #Monotype #silk #SareeSilk

#Messing and #playing around are my favourite methods to develop an #ArtProject. Materials, colours, structures or surfaces: Can they grow into an organic piece of a #mixedmedia #assemblage? A new piece of my #BiodiversityShrines emerges ... #ArtistLife #AtelierTetebrec #biodiversityLoss #ClimateCrisis #ArtInProgress #NatureArt #ecology #EcologyArt #shrines #reliquaries

There is nothing to do with my circulation today. I want to continue working on my #BiodiversityShrines in the studio. First, I have to go back to #feeling. Feel analogies, see parallels, and play with #associations. My #perspective has to change.

It's also a good way to prepare for the #podcast. The next episode of #NatureMatchCuts will be published at the end of the month. The last episode about our #senses in #nature: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/season-01-ep-06-chatting-with-an-alien/id1630784381?i=1000597453796 #artist #science #reconnectWithNature #NatureArt

I was asked yesterday if I would like to exhibit my #BiodiversityShrines in an #art gallery at the Autumn Festival. Now I have to meet the gallery owner (we do not know each other yet) and get a lot of work done. I need more shrines! #LuxuryProblems #PaperArt #TextileArt #mixedmedia #ArtistsOfMastodon #artodon #AtelierTetebrec #NatureArt #BiodiversityLoss
