The physical process of making art helps me understand my embodiment through playing with the elements directly using the senses of touch and sight.
Paint is made of pigment, earth element in its many colours, ground into coloured dust and mixed with liquid. Some favourite colours are made of earth and fire by firing raw clay: burnt umber and burnt siena. The latter gives lovely warm transparent glazes and makes a rich glowing surface..
I used a ground of burnt siena as the basis of this work and then worked into it with richly pigmented watercolours.
Molten Earth.
