Day 5 #ArtAdventCalendar: What’s inside this cigar box? A black smoker - with giant tube worms (Riftia pachyptila) for #InsertAnInvert2024. I’ve had the idea for this #multimedia in my head for years! Cigar box, collaged papers, gouache, Posca pen, glue, washi tape.

I’ve never had the opportunity to go on a research cruise to a hydrothermal vent, though I have contributed to plans for monitoring 🧵

I’ve never had the opportunity to go on a research cruise to a hydrothermal vent, though I have contributed to plans for monitoring and seen a lot of footage shot by 🧵1/n
