From 1959 to 1965, Wynn Bullock created amazing abstract color images on 35mm Kodachrome slides. The process, which he developed himself, involved complex multi-layered colored glass and objects, plus the creative and subtle use of depth of field.

👀 lots of folks QT'ing to say: women — submit your manuscripts! I think what has to come first is: universities, fix your gendered service and teaching inequities, and society, balance out your care work, so women *have time* to write the damn manuscripts. So many women colleagues are BURNT OUT.
There are still a few weeks left in the year (though December is generally a quiet month for book proposals), but it looks like I’m going to close out 2024 with around 80% of total book proposals coming from men, 18% from women, and 2% from persons whose gender was not apparent/obvious.

Bio aspiration - mushroom tickler
These little white protrusions from the dead wood are candle snuff fungi. They are bioluminescent (fairy lights!) and they release little clouds of spores when tickled.

Paper making masterclass with Mandy Brannan, week 5 - experimentation with mixed fibres and techniques. The images show mixed papers made with kozo and pigmented cotton using the Japanese method. I’m excited the translucency of the kozo, and the escaping yellow fibres.
