#Biology Rising: My version of volvox, the freshwater algae where daughter colonies live inside their mother cells and work together to move towards the light to survive. We are in a volvox moment, now. These are hand printed monotypes on sewing patterns, dipped in beeswax. #sciart #STEAM #art

All one gauge! I’m using tie wire, I find it at the hardware store, it’s used for tying rebar, to reinforce concrete work.

Documenting my #wire vessels before they head off to For Artsake gallery in Newport, OR. I’ve really enjoyed making them and can’t wait to see how they display them. So many shadows yet to be discovered! Most of these are large, 24” in diameter or so #sciart #sculpture #art #traditionalart #shadows

Volvox in black and white, a 1905 drawing by Frank P. Smith:

Brian Stevenson Ph.D. spirochete lab @bstevensonlab.bsky.social · Jan 25

Sharing a ca. 1905 white-on-black painting of Volvox, by Frank P. Smith (1880 - 1945). Smith produced this and other images of microscopical life for production of lantern slides for his talks on natural history.
Smith later produced the first commercial time-lapse films of flower buds opening, etc.

White on lack painting of a Volvox, produced ca. 1905 by Frank Percy Smith. The image measures 10 x 10 inches, 25 x 25 cm

I’m on a podcast talking about creativity and grief. Public radio in southern Oregon, 14 minutes long, not too terrible. #sciart #creativity #art #grief : www.ijpr.org/show/the-jef...

We found a red-legged frog egg mass and a salamander egg mass in this pond that’s being restored! Plus I got to hang out with scientists. Thanks #umpquawatershed #biology #botany #sciart #science

Thank you, me too! They have waders I can borrow but I have a feeling I’ll be getting my own soon…

Julie Anderson Bailey @juliejulieart.bsky.social · Jan 30

Right? They were there all along, and I knew it, but I guess I needed to make this new body of work before I met them, so I could show them, and they could tell me the science behind what I’m actually doing. Haha!

I met the #scientists: lucky me, I found the good people at Umpqua Watershed this week. They loaned me a microscope to view some volvox from the North Umpqua River, invited me to muck about in a pond to count salamanders, and figure out an art installation for Earth Day, too. #biology #sciart #art

Women looking into a microscope on a table. A book entitled “Becoming Earth How Our Planet Came to Be” is also on the table.

Here is a current iteration of my “Biology Rising” installation which explores Volvox, the freshwater algae that forms daughter colonies inside their mother cells and collaborate to survive. This column form glows at night. Made of #monotypes on tissue paper, dipped in beeswax. #sciart #biology

Sculpture made of green paper and wire circles, forming a column, in a window. 4 feet wide by 10 feet high. Taken during natural daylight hours.
