2024, hand bleached and dyed denim, cotton batting and thread
inspired by blackwater photography of plankton! this was my first time layering bleach painting. All the silhouettes were painted with bleaching gel, loosely tie dyed, and then bleached again to make the highlights. I quilted the piece using my free motion foot to outline each individual animal and tacked down the rest of the quilt with small satin stitches that remind me of marine snow. I dyed bias tape to match. super happy with this one and excited to show it in a gallery setting soon!
I was at a hospital and a old fat Italian man to my right had an entire canvas and was painting tits, and to my left was a depressed 1950s detective. Plankton from SpongeBob was the nurse.
Червь плоский желтопятнистый (Thysanozoon havomaculatum) . Морской червь из класса ресничные черви, или турбеллярий. Принадлежит отряду Поликлад. Имеет уплощённое, овальное тело, покрытое ресничным эпителием. Длина этого симпатичного создания около 4 см, а толщина всего пару миллиметров. Передний конец его тела несёт пару щупалец. Мускулатура этого плоского червя многослойная, хорошо развитая, благодаря ей он способен подниматься в толщу воды за счёт ундулирующих движений краёв тела, а не только обитать на дне. Этот свободноживущий плоский червь питается преимущественно как хищник, водными беспозвоночными. Встречается в морях вокруг Австралии и Индонезии.
Yellow-spotted flatworm (Thysanozoon havomaculatum). A marine worm from the class of ciliated worms, or turbellarians. Belongs to the Polyclad squad. It has a flattened, oval body covered with ciliated epithelium. The length of this cute creature is about 4 cm, and the thickness is only a couple of millimeters. The front end of its body bears a pair of tentacles. The musculature of this flatworm is multi-layered, well developed, thanks to it it is able to rise into the water column due to undulating movements of the edges of the body, and not just live on the bottom. This free-living flatworm feeds primarily as a predator on aquatic invertebrates. It is found in the seas around Australia and Indonesia.
