from Great Astronomical Discoveries Lately Made by SIr John Herschel… at the Cape of Good Hope (1835) in The Man in the Moone and Other Lunar Fantasies. Faith K. Pizor and T. Allan Comp, eds. (New York: Praeger, 1971)
First test launch of one of our rocket designs. That’s a space monster (the square guy with many eyes and a scary mouth) in the foreground.
Images that showed up on my computer
These didn’t scan as well as I hoped — they have a very bright orange pigment that just didn’t translate well to digital. Still, you get the idea. These are all quite small.
New works on paper - -more to come soon!
This is a new collaborative project between Oskar (my son) and I. He needs to do homework for school, but can design his own projects. We proposed taking on Garhard Richter’s Patterns book as a project: For Patterns, Richter came up with a system, and the book is a record of the iterations of the system. We’ll start with our own image, figure out what Richter did, then see if we can replicate the system.
This is our first bit of work on the project: we looked at the original, and the first iteration — the image was copied and mirrored, but also squished, so the composite image was the same proportions as the original. We’re saving all our steps to document the project.
I still have some gouaches from my Extramundane show available (and I’ve made some new ones over the summer). I’ve put together a list — with images and prices. Let me know if you have questions — or if you think you have a new home for any of them!
This in relation to that. More favorite images from the Earl Slipher files at the Lowell Archives.
