Maria Mangano @mariamangano.bsky.social · 16/03/2025Coming very late to #printpromptmonday with this big installation I made in 2019, Lesser Bodies. It’s about the collapse of chimney swift populations in the US. Not in the water, but I was inspired by the motion of water circling a drain. 913625 0
Maria Mangano @mariamangano.bsky.social · 03/03/2025It’s #printpromptmonday and today’s theme is #flipped! Here’s a linocut I printed using the same block twice on one paper. They’re starlings, a beautiful, smart, fascinating bird that’s also invasive where I live (in the US). 4684 0
