Another pattern of invertebrates for but this time from the Cambrian Period (from 538.8 to 485.4 million years ago). This pattern is made from my linocut animal prints with collaged washi papers. The spiky handprinted Wiwaxia, a soft-bodied animal covered in scales & spines lived in the early & middle Cambrian period and fossils are found worldwide, including in Canada’s Burgess Shale.
🧵1/n

As described this is a square image of a repeat pattern of my linocuts of three Cambrian invertebrates, each printed with each section on a different patterned and coloured Japanese washi paper. The background is sand coloured with brown speckles. The animals are in multiple colours. The animals are spiky ovoid Wiwaxia, Opabinia (somewhat like a shrimp with 5 eyes on stalks and a trunk like tubular proboscis with grasping claws) and the trilobite Cheirurus ingricus.
