Now you see it, now you don’t: Illusive color (2021)
Journal Article
Klein, S. (2021). Now you see it, now you don’t: Illusive color. The Californian Printmaker: The Journal Of The Californian Society Of Printmakers, 2021,

My practise is centered around color. As a scientist I can only emphasize that color is a miracle of the mind. Without the human soul, it does not exist. I am choosing the word soul and not brain, because colour is not only generated by the interacti... Read More about Now you see it, now you don’t: Illusive color.

The effect of surface treatments and graphene-based modifications on mechanical properties of natural jute fiber composites: A review (2021)
Journal Article
Islam, M. H., Islam, M. R., Dulal, M., Afroj, S., & Karim, N. (2022). The effect of surface treatments and graphene-based modifications on mechanical properties of natural jute fiber composites: A review. iScience, 25(1), Article 103597. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.isci.2021.103597

Natural fiber reinforced composites (FRC) are of great interests, because of their biodegradability, recyclability, and environmental benefits over synthetic FRC. Natural jute FRC could provide an environmentally sustainable, light weight, and cost-e...

Three-dimensional composites with nearly isotropic negative Poisson's ratio by random inclusions: Experiments and finite element simulation (2021)
Journal Article
Zhang, M., Hu, H., Kamrul, H., Zhao, S., Chang, Y., Ho, M., & Karim, N. (2022). Three-dimensional composites with nearly isotropic negative Poisson's ratio by random inclusions: Experiments and finite element simulation. Composites Science and Technology, 218, Article 109195. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compscitech.2021.109195

Composites with negative Poisson's Ratio (NPR), also known as auxetic composites, are of great interests due to excellent properties. Auxetic composites of various types have been developed, however most of them have anisotropic NPR behaviour. This p...

Twenty-five and counting: San Francisco Center for the book celebrates its past and future in artists’ books (2021)
Journal Article
Bodman, S. (2021). Twenty-five and counting: San Francisco Center for the book celebrates its past and future in artists’ books. Printmaking Today, 30(120), 22-23

I spoke with Jennie Hinchcliff, Exhibitions and Events Manager at the San Francisco Center for the Book (SFCB) as they celebrate their 25th anniversary. SFCB was established by Mary Austin and Kathleen Burch in 1996, to serve west coast and internati...

The practice of multispecies relations in urban space and its potentialities for new legal imaginaries (2021)
Journal Article
Dillon, T. (2021). The practice of multispecies relations in urban space and its potentialities for new legal imaginaries. Journal of Human Rights and the Environment, 12(Special Issue), 148-161. https://doi.org/10.4337/jhre.2021.00.07

This article explores what it means to enact multispecies relations in urban space. This exploration is rooted in contemporary art practices that create living frameworks through which encounters with non-human animal cultures, histories, rituals and...

Man-made crystals: A review of their historic and contemporary context and use (2021)
Journal Article
Boons, S. (2021). Man-made crystals: A review of their historic and contemporary context and use. International Journal of Design in Society, 15(2), 63-71. https://doi.org/10.18848/2325-1328/cgp/v15i02/63-71

This paper reports on the history and use of man-made crystals for jewelry in a contemporary context. The cross-disciplinary contextual review traces human fascination with gemstones back centuries, and covers key developments in their "imitation."Th...
