馃У1/4 #Summer is a good time to play with #mud, experiment with natural pigments. It's easy: take some surface soil without organic and other rests, solve it in water (or white school glue for longer lasting images) and paint!
The finer the soil, the better the pigments work. You can also sieve and even grind the finds. Great for children to discover the rich diversity of soil.

馃У 2/ My inspirations for this project came from an ancient "magical" ocre quarry in our naturepark, exploited until medieval times, where you can still find some stones. An artist teached me how to produce your own pigments.
During that work I found more inspirations by artists working at the intersection of #geology and art, about our body relations to earth and soil. Often with a sense of reciprocity and respect while collecting.
