Happy birthday to British-born, American #astrophysicist Margaret Burbidge (1919-2020) who was one of the people instrumental in building our understanding of stellar nucleosynthesis, how nuclei are produced in stars & you and I are all stardust! She was the 1st author of a monumental scientific paper Synthesis of the Elements in Stars, which became known as B2FH from the initials of its authors: 🧵1/4

My linocut portrait of Margaret Burbidge shows the astrophysicist in gold in from the shoulders up looking directly at the viewer. She has short hair with a little curl and wears a short-sleeved button down shirt with wide stripes. Behind her in black ink is space complete with stars and galaxies. At the base in the centre is a semicircular diagram (flat side down) of a supergiant star cross section in a radial gradient of yellow to red with small radiating irregular spikes. This is overprinted in black concentric rings labelled from the centre out: Fe, Si,O, Ne, C, He, H. At the bottom is a stellar adsorption spectrum: a thin horizontal strip with rainbow gradient of violet at the left through to red at the right with sporadic black vertical stripes. It is printed by hand on ivory Japanese washi paper, 11” x 14”

I just finished a new linocut :blobfoxbox: tomorrow I will experiment a bit with other color combinations.

Currently I'm also setting up an online shop (but only with shipping inside Germany - it's complicated enough)
