Part of the thinking about using natural pigments in my work is about being consciously aware of where they are from, geographically, how they are formed, placing them in relation to myself and in relation to the visual content of my work. And so I visited Rodney Harris back in May 2017 to talk about his relief prints of geological maps and to get a few tips on grinding up rocks and mud myself.
Thanks to Rod for sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm with me and giving me the courage to get out the pestle and mortar!
