Each page in my current book is B4 sized ~ 9.8 x 13.9 inches, and finding a scanner big enough has been a Task

Panel 1: Ovidio sits in front of a body covered in a sheet, text says: we shudder to think we sit in the jaws of her death, soothe ourselves against the same teeth that bit her

Panel 2: someone unseen steps forward, text says: that we might unknowingly wander into the end of our lives in the same place we found the beginnings of it

Panel 3: a reflection in the water of Ovidio reaching for the body and someone reaching for them, text says: the seeds of love a poor shield against a cruel hand

Panel 4: Ovidio looks behind them as a hand reaches towards them, text says: that the hand we love may reach towards us in violence--

Page is greyscle with red accents in Ovidio's hair and the yarn that moves through the page, frames some of the panels, forms a pomegranate, and ties around Doe's hand

Panel 1: a lamb cowers at the shadow of a jaguar at the end of the hall
Panel 2: overlaying sequence of the lamb running
Panel 3: the lamb bumps into the wall
Panel 4: the lamb tries to cry out as a shadow of claws come down on them
Panel 5: a woman sleepily opens a door with a candle in her hand, asking "what's all this noise? Did something happen?"

Ovidio floating between two trees that have blood and missing posters on then. Below them are green mushrooms and crashing ocean waves and they're taking a picture on a camera

Post card of multi colored houses of a variety of sizes. There's a rainbow gradient over them and a grainy off white background. The houses get bigger from the left top corner towards the bottom right corner.

I’m hoping by next #PortfolioDay I’ll have some shiny new things to share, but for now it’s not too early to reach out with your 2026 writing needs (particularly for shorter projects)!

Comic page from the comic Kiss the Cook (written by Barbara, art by Rhinosnax). Olivia saved something for Marcelle, which Marcelle is delighted to try as they continue to chat.

Olivia: I do have something for you, I’m Olivia by the way.

Marcelle: Marcelle, nice to meet you...

Marcelle: Are you sure?

Olivia: Yeah, neighborly treat.

Olivia: I’m sorry I didn’t get to come by first. I wasn’t sure if I should just wait until tomorrow’s bake since everything else sold out...

Marcelle: Why is that?

A woman rises out of the waves, looking towards the left as they crash around her and a swarm of hands reaches up to grab her. You can see the faint sketch done in highlighter under the fountain pen inks

It’s #PortfolioDay! I’m a multidisciplinary artist whose visual work is #SciArt #symptomatology and #anatomy #embroidery. I’m also a writer and composer.

If you’d like to support what I do, you can tip me on ko-fi ko-fi.com/lia_pas

Stars within, stars without (2017). Face detial . An embroidery on ochre linen. There is the outline of a head and neck. There are blue filigree lines coming from the sides of the head outline towards the centre of the face. A fine off white line outlines the head and moves down the neck and out along the arms. On the centre chest is a cluster of off-white crosses and a few sparse crosses are around the head and shoulders as well.

woman in skull (2016)

An embroidery on bone coloured linen of the inside of a human skull looking down from a cut open top done in thin black thread. The textures make it look like the Vesalius woodcut it is based on. In the bottom left corner of the skull there is the tiny silhouette of a woman done in bronze thread.

Autumnal Mitosis Sampler (2024)

Two cells dividing embroidered on off white linen. A circle of brown stem stitch is the cell membrane, the corona radiata is in bright orangey yellow zig zag chain stitch. The edges of the dividing cells are in bright orange split stitch. The nucleolus of each cell is in bright yellow bullion stitch. The cytoplasm is stitched in variegated orange/brown thread in a mix of seed stitch and French knots. Lia’s initials are stitched in off white whipped back stitch.

thrum (2016)

An embroidery on off-white linen. A thyroid cartilage is stitched in thick black thread like a woodcut. Below it the word “thrum” is stitched in ochre thread in a type-like font. To the bottom right the initials L.P. are stitched in thin thread the same colour as the linen.
