Wow - pinch me. My Inner Circle email dropped yesterday morning with a special announcement that I’m moving and a moving sale coupon and these four (plus one more) originals all sold. Nothing is more rewarding to an artist then sending their work out into the world #NeuroArt #SciArt

Spent the day at the print shop sublimating all these little brains for earrings and playing around with ideas for ornaments - I’m moving soon so gotta take advantage of the collaborative print shop access while I have it #NeuroArt #Makingthings #Sublimation

In β€˜Slow Waves in the Midnight Deep’, a nocturnal figure descends from the top of the canvas. A wave pattern radiates through her hair, echoing the slow electrical pulses that define deep sleep. Along the edges of the work, real sleep data marks the moments when deep sleep occurred, framing the figure with evidence of the unseen.

Deep sleep is a mysterious part of the night. It arrives early, when the heart rate slows, the body cools & the mind slips beneath awareness. This stage helps stabilize important memories.

Neurons firing together in slow, synchronized rhythms, creating low frequency delta waves across the cortex. 🐑

Mockup of a canvas print, created from an original mathematical drawing on watercolor paper. Near the edges, distortion effects have been applied digitally to make the drawing appear as if it would melt. Construction of 3D Lissajous Figures from their 2D projections. Two self-similar figures are shown as the borders of a single ribbon. Artwork by elkement 2025, canvas print design 2026.

New canvas print in my store!

I always extend the drawing with a digitally mirrored and distorted version - to make it "drip off" the sides of the canvas. This time, I let this melted edge appear on the front!

Pigeon party! 🐦✨ In other news, while the official collective noun for a Posse of Pidges is the rather lackluster 'flock', I did recently learn that at one point a Congregation of City Chickens could be referred to as a 'dropping', presumably because of all the pooping #wordoftheday 🐦✨

ever wondered what you throw away in a year? A friend collected her family’s thin plastic packaging for me for an entire year. The resulting quilt I made is 26-ft wide by 26-ft long at its longest. Always open to collecting someone else’s for a different window into our waste! 🐑🌎 must be CLEAN πŸͺ€πŸ­

A hand knit sweater is laid flat on a wooden floor. It is sized for 2-year-olds, and has diagonal yoke shaping and allover stranded colourwork. The hem, cuffs, and neckline are knit in a silver grey yarn. The rest is knit in colourful stripes of dusty rose, neon yellow, anthracite, neon red, and light sky blue. Every colourful stripe has beige sheep of differing sizes facing forward. 
Pattern: Flax Sock by Tin Can Knits without the garter stitch panels, and with the colourwork chart centered on the body and arms

A hand knit toque is laid flat on a wooden floor. It is sized for smaller adult heads, and has allover stranded colourwork. It is knitted in beige yarn with colourful stripes of dusty rose, neon yellow, anthracite, neon red, and light sky blue sheep facing forward. The hem is folded up, so the sheep there are upside down.

It is knitted in beige yarn with colourful stripes of dusty rose, neon yellow, anthracite, neon red, and light sky blue sheep facing forward. In this picture you can see that it is knitted as a long tube with both ends rounded off, making the end result a double layered toque. Quadruple layered if you fold up the hem. On the bottom half you can see that Cesca ran out of the colourful mini skeins, and used it all up before adding an ice blue for the second crown. 
You can also see that the colourwork pattern is turned upside down over the bottom half, so the sheep are right side up whichever way around the toque is worn.

🧢 #ShowMeYourKnits Animals, you say? How about a matching, but inverted toddler-adult set with colourful sheep? My nibling luckily could wear this sweater for two winter seasons, and I bring out this Musselburgh when it’s extra cold because it is the THICKEST and warmest toque I own. #KnitSky

A woven wall hanging made of multi colored but mostly red yarn. Embroidered onto it is a mother wearing a brown at top and blue burka, who is holding and bent over her dead child who is covered in a white shroud. She is crouched in front of a dead olive tree, that is embroidered in a light green color. It hangs from a stick of an olive tree (ethically sourced from Portugal). The light green outline of the tree matches the outlines of mother and child) Multi colored yellow white and brown thin yarn that looks stringy, makes up the tassels at the bottom
