McCuistion&#8217;s Artist Statement:<\/strong>  This set of four books is a pictorial telling of the annual life cycle of the Striped Plateau Lizard. Learning about the lizard from the University of Puget Sound Biology Professor Stacey Weiss, it was challenging to interpret her research into art. I settled on depicting the lizard in its leafy habitat by dying paper with plant material from the Chiricahua Mountains in Arizona. Each book shows one season in the annual cycle of a lizard beginning from its emergence from hibernation, mating, laying eggs, abandoning those eggs, and scurrying off to start the cycle again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Size<\/strong>:  1 Box: 6&#8243; tall x 7.25&#8243; wide x 3&#8243; deep<br>4 accordion books: 7&#8243; tall x 5.75&#8243; wide x .5&#8243; deep; 27&#8243; wide x 7&#8243; deep when open<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Materials<\/strong>:  Madison Print 100% cotton paper dyed with plant material from the Chiricahua Mountains; box is a partial slipcase of grey crinkled Momi with full slipcase cover of botanical dyed Madison Print laminated on Magnani Legion Print.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Structure<\/strong>:  Concertina with wrapped covers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Production\/Printing Process<\/strong>:  Botanical contact prints with resist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Edition<\/strong>:  Variable edition of 2 with one artist proof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Year Created:  <\/strong>2020-21<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile is-image-fill\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/sciencestories\/files\/2021\/02\/mccuistion_dorothy.photoofartist.jpg);background-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"435\" height=\"572\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/sciencestories\/files\/2021\/02\/mccuistion_dorothy.photoofartist.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-475 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/sciencestories\/files\/2021\/02\/mccuistion_dorothy.photoofartist.jpg 435w, https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/sciencestories\/files\/2021\/02\/mccuistion_dorothy.photoofartist-228x300.jpg 228w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 435px) 100vw, 435px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dorothy McCuistion lives and maintains a studio in Tacoma, Washington.

Female striped plateau lizards are more ornamented than their male counterparts. I have found that their orange throat ornament is an honest signal of female quality that influences male investment in siring her offspring. Females produce only one clutch of eggs each year. They lay and then abandon their eggs in soil nests right at the start of the annual monsoon season when wet and hot conditions are ideal for fungal growth. How do the eggs survive an attack by fungal pathogens in the soil during their ~8 week incubation period with no parental care? New work in my lab suggests females deposit a beneficial microbiome onto the surface of eggs during egg-laying that protect eggs from fungal infection and improve the hatch success of her babies.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dorothy McCuistion (artist) and Stacey Weiss (scientist) Dorothy McCuistion&#8217;s Artist Statement: This set of four books is a pictorial telling of the annual life cycle of the Striped Plateau Lizard.
