Schautafeln zum begreifenden Lernen 

Auch noch Jahrzehnte nach meinen ersten Kindercollagen greife ich immer wieder auf Verpackungsabfälle, insbesondere Kartons zurück - 

hier als doppelseitige Schautafeln für die 12 Organströme mit ihrem Verlauf am Körper nach der Lehre des Jin Shin Jyutsu. 

Material: Verpackungskarton, Farben, Faden, Klebstoff, Papiere Höhe: ca. 80 cm pro Stück

Display Boards for Hands-On Learning Even decades after creating my first collages as a child, I still find myself reaching for packaging waste—especially cardboard boxes—time and again— here as double-sided display boards illustrating the 12 organ meridians and their pathways through the body, according to the teachings of Jin Shin Jyutsu.

Materials: Packaging cardboard, paint, thread, glue, paper Height: approx. 80 cm each

After 9 months of work, my Oseberg tapestry sweater is complete!

This was my first sweater knitted in the round, first stranded colourwork project, and my first time steeking. It was definitely my most challenging project so far, and a lot of learning and research was involved. I used a colourwork chart created by the very talented Molly Gifford, which is available for free on Ravelry

For reference, this is one of the fragments uncovered from the gravesite:

Some scholars think that the Oseberg tapestry includes the earliest known artistic depiction of Odin's ravens, Huginn and Muninn. So I added them to the sleeves as a little Easter egg.

as an apology for tumblr always getting my zines posted last you get one (one) early zine.

i knew from the start i wanted to cut out cardboard stegosauruses for this and have some rocks and that was kind of it at first. i was originally thinking about using some maps of the english channel but i didn't have any on me when i made this so had to come up with another plan. i had some stone texture patterned paper but not enough for the whole background so i had to strategically cut and place it only in the visible areas and use cardboard scraps to fill in the gaps. my next layer was rock formation diagrams which i have tons of because i regularly use old kids encyclopaedias and don't tend to have much use for them so this was perfect. i then layered cardboard scraps over the diagrams then over thay i added photos of fossils/rocks/coastlines from the encyclopaedia and lastly added the cardboard stegosauruses. for the stegosaurus i decided to have them as slightly ripped cardboard instead of just the corrugated insides because one i like the texture and two it is much harder to cut smaller shapes when you're missing a full layer of cardboard. i really love how this zine came out and i am so glad it scanned okay despite how thick the cardboard was compared to the paper.

also experimenting with adding close ups of each spread so it's easier to read and clearer for people who aren't used to seeing flat zine scans

i do think theres something sad about how largely only the literature that's considered especially good or important is intentionally preserved. i want to read stuff that ancient people thought sucked enormous balls

[literaryreference]

Time to take this post entirely too seriously:

I often wonder if this is why you so commonly see the sentiment that we are in an era of uniquely bad literature, or at least that the fact that most books don't have artistic aspirations and are not aiming to be anything other than mindless entertainment is new. In fact what's new is the idea that everything is worth preserving (and also the internet making it easier to preserve it). The dumb artistically unambitious trash books of the past have survived only sporadically, because people thought of them as literally disposable.

When I was in college I had a professor who was an expert on detective fiction. He had a longstanding beef with the idea that "Murders in the Rue Morgue" was the first detective story. He thought that it seemed way too polished to be inventing a new genre, and also that the whole orangutan business had the vibe of someone subverting preexisting audience expectations and maybe engaging in a bit of stealth parody. With the help of some student volunteers, he went trawling through old magazines and newspapers and found hundreds of detective stories from the early 1800s that just hadn't garnered enough individual attention to be remembered. This was because most of them sucked balls. He created an online archive of them, so you too can read these mostly terrible stories.

A digital copy of a zine I made in collaboration with Amanda Laughtland, Your World Hangs, back in 2018. It's a tiny work, and I like it more than I remembered.
