Working on my next block for #PrinterSolstice for the prompt “even.” This is particle physicist Bibha Chowdhuri (1913-1991) known for her work on cosmic rays, which were the primary way physicists could study particle physics before particle accelerators. We know quarks have fractional charges (+ or - 1 or 2 thirds) so they don’t appear on their own but bound together, in trios in regular matter in neutrons & protons. 🧵

My lino block print portrait for #PrinterSolstice prompt addition shows the amateur pioneering American scientist, inventor & women's rights advocate Eunice Newton Foote (1819-1888) who did the earliest experiments to show the insulating effect of certain gases & correctly concluded that increasing carbon dioxide levels would affect atmospheric temperature and climate, which we now call the Greenhouse Effect. 🧵

This year’s #PrinterSolstice prompts are math themed, which seems perfect for my #womenInSTEM series. The first prompt, “addition” made me think of the greenhouse effect, excess additional atmospheric CO2 and the resulting excess terrestrial temperatures. It made me think of a scientist who has been on my to do list for years: Eunice Newton Foote. The reason I have not tackled her portrait 🧵

Day 2 #artAdventCalendar I made several portraits this year including Sophie Brahe (1559 or 1556 -1643) horticulturalist, astronomer, genealogist, & alchemist with the gardens at her brother #astronomer Tycho Brahe’s Uraniborg estate, where she often assisted his research, alchemical tools & illustrations of the supernova she observed as his assistant.
Tycho trained her in horticulture & chemistry but initially discouraged astronomy.🧵

Happy birthday to Sophie Brahe (born either Aug 24, 1559 or Sept 22, 1556 -1643) horticulturalist, astronomer, genealogist, & alchemist with the gardens at her brother #astronomer Tycho Brahe’s Uraniborg estate, where she often assisted his research, alchemical tools & illustrations of the supernova she observed as Tycho’s assistant. 🧵1/n

Working on my next #printerSolstice print for the prompt oxygen- another woman who was there and involved in the chemical revolution and development of the idea that burning might be due to an element that got named oxygen rather than a substance possessed by combustible things called phlogiston.
Chemist, mineralogist, meteorologist and scientific translator Claudine Picardet…

Until I can catch up on #printerSolstice, a throwback which fits the prompt oxygen: Antoine (1743-1794) & Marie-Anne Paulze Lavoisier (1758 – 1836) worked closely together modernizing & quantifying #chemistry & the scientific method, recognized & named oxygen & hydrogen, explained the role that oxygen plays in combustion, helped modernize chemical nomenclature & discovered that mass is conserved in chemical reactions. 🧵1/n

For #printerSolstice prompt carbon: my #linocut portrait of Japanese #geochemist Katsuko Saruhashi (1920-2007) who created tools that allowed her to make 1st measurements of CO2 in seawater, raised alarm about nuclear fallout, tracing it in oceans & researched peaceful uses of nuclear power. A supporter of women in science, she established the Society of Japanese Women Scientists & the Saruhashi Prize for Japanese women🧵

I still haven’t had much chance to carve this year, or catch up with the #PrinterSolstice prompts, so until I can, here’s a carbon-themed print from my portfolio: Millie Dresselhaus (née Spiewak; November 11, 1930 – February 20, 2017). She was a professor of physics and electrical engineering at MIT, known as the Queen of Carbon Science.

I’m excited to join #printersolstice - the element themes are a great fit for science stories I want to tell. But I have no time to carve now, so until I can catch up, here’s a the earliest recorded #alchemist for “gold”: Mary the Jewess (aka Maria Hebraea, Miriam, or Maria Prophetissa). She likely lived in 1st century Alexandria. Zosimos of Panopolis (~300 CE) relates that she wrote a treatise called 🧵1/n

December 1 already! For the first day of #ArtAdventCalendar, I am sharing the first print I made in 2024. I made this #linocut for the #PrinterSolstice prompt complementary! Orange and blue. An ornamental white and orange carp or koi fish. The edition of prints are made on Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper, 8” by 10” (20.3 cm by 25.4 cm).

Another 2024 print on the eve of #ArtAdventCalendar2024: I made this one a #PrinterSolstice prompt primary colours. I combined 3 print media for each of blue, red and yellow. This print is about how fractal patterns appear in nature. I have combined a cyanotype of a fern leaf on Japanese paper, with a red gel print and yellow lino block print of a fractal Sierpiński triangle. 🧵1/2

The next prompt for #printerSolstice is Triadic Colours, or 3 equidistant colours on the colour wheel. I went with secondary colours: orange, purple & green. My Lino block print of 2 Pisaster ochraceus, generally known as the purple sea star, ochre sea star, or ochre starfish, on a bed of kelp, is hand-printed on delicate white Japanese paper with bark inclusions. 🧵1/n

Next up for #printerSolstice @printersolstice is CMYK so I got out my process cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink and started experimenting with the gel plate. The first is my favourite, made with cut paper stencils and patterned Japanese tissue paper. I also used some carved Lino blocks and plant materials on the other prints.

For #PrinterSolstice prompt spectrum: my #linocut of trailblazing American #astronomer Annie Jump Cannon (1863 – 1941) with her stellar classification system which sorted stars based on spectral types, revealing their temperature from hot blue stars to cool red stars: O,B,A, F, G, K & M. Named after the university the Harvard Classification her tremendous contribution was less visible. 🧵1/n

Next prompt for #printersolstice is spectrum so it was clear to me I should add another #astronomer to my #womenInSTEM series.
Instead of the visual spectrum of light 🌈 the colours in this rainbow roll relate to temperature of stars. Astronomers will have guessed: this is a portrait in progress of Annie Jump Cannon (1863-1941) who developed the Harvard Classification Scheme for stars, a modified version of which is still used today.

For the #printerSolstice prompt split complimentary I was reminded of an animal that is fuchsia, indigo & yellow. So I made some wee little prints of a strange & beautiful creature, the fuchsia flatworm (Pseudoceros ferrugineus) from the tropical Indo-Pacific. Their gorgeous colours are aposematic - a warning to predators that they are not worth eating. So they can crawl around & feed on coral reefs without concern.
