I’ve been participating in SciArt September for a few years now. Glendon Mellow and Liz Butler came up with some excellent prompts yet again this year, and I am sharing older work based on the prompts. Below are the pieces I shared for second week of prompts on the theme of sci-fi. You can see the first week’s horror prompts HERE.
Day 8 • illuminated • This heart detail from my recent vagus nerve embroidery shows the glow I feel around my heart while meditating. the wandering ghost detail (2024)
Day 9 • origin • This is my original mitosis embroidery sampler (2016). I recently did a seasonal set of four of these and am writing a pattern for this piece.
Day 10 • scavenger • My studio is full of all sorts of anatomy-related things. My friend James scavenged this plaster spine and pelvis from a dumpster beside a recently closed chiropractor's office.
Day 11 • stellar • This symptomatology embroidery, stars within, stars without (2017), shows the tingling/paresthesias I currently feel on and around my upper body.
Day 12 • clone • My autumn themed mitosis embroidery sampler (2024), for which I'm writing a pattern.
Day 13 • electrified • My symptomatology embroidery, she was tributaries (2016), showing the electrical storm I feel in my brain from ME/CFS.
Day 14 • futurist • Now that it's autumn, spring feels very far in the future. Here's my spring mitosis embroidery sampler (2024).
Next week’s theme is fantasy, so I’ll be sharing pieces for each prompt then, too.
