More of my pollinator garden work in progress about the future of pollination for Manufactured Ecosystems.

I’m thinking about a variety of futures possible for pollination and pollinators. Planting native plants wherever you are can foster these species on whom we and our ecosystems depend.

As described this is a detail shot of my collaged linocut pollinator garden artwork featuring a log, wildflowers and pollinators including: Canada goldenrod, purple coneflower, wild geraniums, wild columbine, common milkweed, black eyed susans, monarch butterflies, red-spotted purple butterfly, white underwing moth, bumblebee, sweat bee, resin bee and milkweed leaf beetle.

Here's a cheat sheet for Megalograptus, commissioned in 2022 for a project I cannot talk about yet. The scientific consultant was Fiann Smithwick.

Back when this guy was last in office, and Covid was unchecked and data around it was being censored, and yet people were dying...I created this visualization to help communicate how many were dying...to communicate how big 400,000 deaths are: https://kristinhenry.github.io/howBig/

The 2022 Korean translation of Locked in Time (by Dr Dean Lomax - Palaeontologist & published by Columbia University Press) commissioned me to colourise my 50 greyscale illustrations. "Our Refuge and Tomb" shows multiple species of fish living in and around enormous clams (Platyceramus platinus).

This print “Occam’s Razor” is about the Law of Economy or Parsimony postulated by Scholastic philosopher William of Ockham (1287–1347), “pluralitas non est ponenda sine necessitate” or entities should not be needlessly multiplied. More simply this law, or really, rule of thumb is that the simplest explanation is usually right. The print shows Ockham himself, inspired by an image of him from a 1/n

My linocut print of Occam’s Razor shows Ockham himself, inspired by an image of him from a stained glass window in Surrey, the proverbial and labelled razor and many unlikely things (aliens, ghosts, cryptozoological creatures) it would cut away. It is printed by hand, from two carved relief lino blocks in lavender, silver, pale yellow and phthalo blue on delicate Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper. Each print is 8" by 9" or 20.3 cm by 22.9 cm.

A few zooms into my painting of Haootia (Stauroza), commissioned by McIlroy et al for their 2022 paper. The Haootia fossils from Newfoundland (Late Ediacaran, 550Ma), Canada, have the oldest known evidence for animal muscle tissue. Also in this picture is a reclining Charnia and some Parviscopa.

There is a craft on the bookshelf. This is miniature interior toy, made from nettle fibers by dry felting, in the form of a koala with a baby. An adult koala sits on a eucalyptus branch and holds a branch with one paw and eats leaves. The baby clings to the mother koala's back with all paws, its head is turned to the side. Thank you for your attention!

Detail from tethered by fluid & ligaments (2023). A red & purple organza liver basted onto grey linen. The biliary system with all its branches between the two layers of organza is filled with bilious green. There are small yellow beads on the biliary system inside & white beads on top of the smaller lobe. An arched T shape with tight crisscrossing stitches in thick off-white thread separates the large & small lobes and curves over the top. There are blocks of text stitched in light grey single strand thread around the image. Some of them are cut off in this photo. They read: roots grow in us. through our landscapes. plexuses. fleshy beasts tethered. By fluid and ligaments. Such a gentle embrace. Beneath our skin. Here is the thing. Laid open. The spells it. A language. Between. this golden ingot. This tailed beast. And its viscous song. What a miracle these spaces. Are what make us whole.

Sensorium (2016)

In the centre of some bone white linen, there is a spine embroidery in thick satin stitch. Emanating from the spine are thick burgundy lines in an undulant oval shape. This oval is bisected across the middle. In the top half, there is a section outlined in burgundy filled with coiling blue lines and a similar section in the bottom half. The rest of the undulant oval is filled with fine coiling burgundy lines. The spine is very straight, the rest of the embroidery is very coiled and busy. Lia’s initials are stitched in fine thread the same colour as the cloth at the bottom right.

Paresthesia (tongue 2) 2018

An embroidery on black linen. There is the outline of an open mouth with the tongue sticking out. The lips are outlined in dark pink, the tongue in paler pink, & the teeth in bone white. There are sections outlined on the tongue in thick blue lines. The tip & sides of the tongue are covered in tiny red, orange & white dots. In the center there is an hourglass shape of tiny pink dots. There are taut lines of thin dark blue thread stretched from the tip of the tongue to the sides, from the sides of the tongue to the lips & palate, & from the palate to the tip of the tongue.

Spring mitosis sampler (2024)

Two reproductive cells dividing embroidered on white linen. The edges of the dividing cells and the nucleus membranes are in bluish mossy green split stitch. the cell membrane is in light green stem stitch. The corona radiata is pastel pink zig zag chain stitch. The nucleolus of each cell is in pastel pink bullion stitch. The polar bodies are in mauve single strand back stitch. The cytoplasm is in variegated pink to green thread in seed stitch and French knots. Lia’s initials are stitched in white whipped back stitch.

Reconstructing Wufengella for Guo et et al (2022). From the Early Cambrian, Wufengella is evolutionarily important because it is close to the ancestry of Brachiozoa, Bryozoa, and Phoronida. It is from the Chiungchussu Formation, China.

Happy birthday to Canadian geneticist Irene Ayako Uchida (1917-2013)! In my #linocut Uchida is shown surrounded by chromosones, with anomalies (shown with pink arrows) due to radiation exposure, based on one of her research papers. A strand of DNA is hidden in the image (as her watchband).⁠
⁠
Uchida didn’t set out to be a scientist. She was studying English literature at UBC, before she was interned 1/n

Linocut portrait of geneticist Irene Ayako Uchida (handsome, middle age woman of Japanese heritage with curly hair with a white streak on her right temple, with an open, thoughtful face) leaning on folded arms in a white button down shirt with a small watch with double-helix watchband on her wrist, in dark teal-grey ink. She is surrounded by chromosomes in gold, from one of her papers. The anomalous ones are pointed out with small pink arrows.
