She married her stepdad’s apprentice Johann Andreas Graff; they had a daughter & moved to Nurenburg. She contributed income by painting, creating embroidery designs, & teaching drawing lessons to wealthy girls, which allowed her access to fine gardens where she continued collecting & documenting. She published her 1st book of nature illustrations, titled Neues Blumenbuch, in 1675. In 1679, she published her insect research in a 3-vol, illustrated book focusing on #insect #metamorphosis.

My take on Bambi Pavok from the novel “Corey Fah Does Social Mobility” by Isabel Waidner
In 1922, Johannes Schmidt found that the improbable origin of the freshwater European eel is the Sargasso Sea. #Poetry #Science #History #Ichthyology #Metamorphosis #Schmidt (https://sharpgiving.com/thebookofscience/items/p1922.html)
An abstract painting, done with acrylics and based on a photograph of road markings from my #Metamorphosis series - one which did not make it into the final selection for my #zine.
It doesn't show in this image but the blacks and golds in the painting have an iridescent sheen to them, adding depth to the painting when viewed at an angle.
I'm happy with this painting as I had a clear vision beforehand and managed to achieve what I set out to do.

A wee update on my Metamorphosis project, in which I am photographing 'found art', abstract compositions created by the hand of man, the elements and time. The project is going very well and I'm fast approaching the point where I will need to start curating the images into a more manageable, coherent collection.

I asked my daughter Ellie, a fine arts graduate and arts therapist, to choose her favourite images from my ongoing Metamorphosis project on abstract 'found art' created by the hand of man, the elements and time. Here are four of the images she chose. I hope you like them too.

Hold-ups in the local library reservation system mean that I have been forced to try reading Metamorphosis again.
The first page features a lady who has "a huge fur muff into which the whole of her forearm had vanished".
Although this lady does not seem relevant to the rest of the story, so far at any rate.
