Studio Practice
Working with earth pigments, gum arabic and natural binders.
Material as process. Time as collaborator.
Each body of work begins with material studies.
Layering, oxidation and drying phases are observed over time.
Surfaces are tested before entering a series
My work is grounded in earth-derived pigments and plant-based color.
Natural binders and mineral elements interact with the surface over time.
The material is not subdued.
It is allowed to evolve.
