Meet Esther Lederberg. She had a huge impact on molecular genetics, never credited by the Nobel. Her husband Joshua got the 1958 one. I drew her with shapes kinda like bacterial colonies eating through dough. Patriarchy invisibilizes brilliant women. But if you know, you can still see her. Second piece of my series: The Matildas.

Meet Marietta Blau. The 1950 Nobel for her work went to Cecil Powell, who built on her method. I draw her hidden in geometric forms that represent patriarchy, and a society that invisibilizes brilliant women. But if you know, you can see her and not forget. First piece of my series: The Matildas.

I don’t add music to these. The pen does enough.
Generative art, pen plotting, Ecoline on cotton paper. Hours of code, a few minutes of scratching. Worth it every time.
