Still using the Rooted in RED symbol as the basis of design, I switched back over to the red ochre to become the subject of these paintings. Working with different approaches to the color. Layering glazes upon one another on top of red ochre to see how that changes the visual effects of the pigment. Red constellation is the outline of many Rooted in RED symbols, giving a new constellation. The constellations were incredibly important to the Ojibwe people, likely Muzzinabikon images. Woven Red is a complete experiment. Using traditional basic weaving techniques I wove together a red ochre and red dye #5 canvas, creating a weave of artificial and natural reds.
