A Shared Future

My last two posts for SciArt September 2025 and my future plans

Sep 30, 2025

The last two days had me a bit stumped at first, but here they are as well as a short update on my creative plans for the next while. You can read weeks One: Lands, Two: Species, Three: Water, and Four: People posts linked here and below.

Day 29: foresight

A sketch for a future piece of SciArt embroidery based on some of my polyvagal theory and meditation imagery.

A pencil sketch on off white paper of feminine head and shoulders with an anatomical heart. There is a curving branching net coming out of the top of the heart and covering the neck and face.

Day 30: dream

Dreaming takes place in our brain. Here’s a detail from my SciArt embroidery the wandering ghost (2024) of the brain and facial nerves.

An embroidery of a head and neck stitched in blue thread on green cloth. The brain is stitched in back stitch and the vagus nerves in the neck are stitched in chain stitch in perlé thread. The facial nerves are stitched in single strand chain stitch and back stitch. A thin dark purple line entwines the nerve on the forehead and some curved light green lines emanate from the eye.

Future work

I’ve been sick with cholangitis issues since late June with very little energy so I haven’t been writing much. SciArt September seemed possible because of how it’s split up so I hope to do some other creative work in 5-10 increments as I’m able. Here’s a few things I have in progress:

A post about a tattoo based on my work
Pulling together a new poetry manuscript
Finishing my mitosis embroidery sampler pattern
Cleaning up, wet blocking, and writing posts for a few embroideries I finished months ago
Listening through my piano improvisations to choose the best ones for an album

So even though I’m not posting long form writing very often, things will eventually appear here, fate-permitting.
