I'm intrigued by how materials transform because of saturation, density and opacity, in chemical combinations, with heat and pressure, and especially visually from context and distance. This current work expands on my experiments with patina processes and plant dying on Thai papers. I use steel, copper, and bronze filings which transform to blues, greens, and of course rust. Plant materials turn from black and various earth tones to brilliant greens and yellows.
