My entry for #PrintPromptMonday #Indoors is this multi-block/reduction print I did in 2022. Based on a photo, it's Easter Sunday 1970 somewhere in upstate NY, and though recalled with a touch of the vernal equinox, we were in fact indoors (& fun fact that's me second from left).

Can't cope with the news today but popping in to say that if you add the word fuck to your google search string, you don't get that stupid AI nonsense at the top of your results. Yes there are other ways, but this one pleases me.

Hi! πŸ‘‹ I’m Strangford - a printmaker based in Northern Ireland. I make large, colourful relief prints.

Here’s my latest piece! A three layer woodcut reduction print.

What’s everyone else working on right now? I’d love to see what’s out there 🩷

over the shoulder of a man standing in a museum looking at the photo by John Baldessari of a man looking down the street, words on the photo on the wall "the spectator is compelled to look directly down the road and into the middle of the picture." this photo is by me

A photo of a complex round purple flower.  Large wide pale lavender petals form the outer ring of this flower, above which are many tiny purple filament-like petals which are striped white and purple.  Above these are 5 cream colored ovate anthers which surround the globular ovary which is hard to see in this photo.  Above these are 3 pale clup-like stigma.

I think some of you may need the glorious ridiculousness of the Purple #Passionflower ( #Pasiflora incarnata, AKA Maypop.
) today.

Coral lung sculptural tiles attached to a brick wall. The lungs are very highly textured, with many coral patterns. For the most part, they are brightly coloured, but there are areas left white, creeping up from the bottom, spreading, to signify coral bleaching. 
The art installation highlights our connection with coral reefs and how important they are to us and how our collective behaviour affects them.
Stamped onto the windpipe section is a quote from a song by The Hollies. 
β€œSometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you.”

I sometimes make ceramic street art and created these coral lungs for Look up Portsmouth at Cosham Library. Coral reefs produce roughly 50% of the Earth’s oxygen but are susceptible to coral bleaching (and eventually death) due to rising sea temperatures. We need corals more than we realise!

I put together a starter pack of nature, landscape, and wildlife photographers I've followed elsewhere and have come across on BlueSky. It is incomplete but offers a place to start for seeing inspiring photos.
