Using raw powdered red ochre and polymer medium I am creating sheets of pigment that I then cut into strips and weave together. I worked with a few mediums and ended up with Golden polymer medium. I laid the "batter", as I like to call it, out onto a 3'x4' acetate sheet. Through some trials and tribulations with medium to pigment ratio and drying time, I achieved enough skins to create the model installation of what I am thinking for my project in Berlin for my MFA exhibition. The scale will be greatly increased to fill the studio space at Uferstudios.

Rooted in RED workshop strikes again!
We reunited again for another Rooted in RED workshop! We finished our Egyptian red ochre vases by painting them black and scratching away our story. We also made weavings, with brown paper bags and colored construction paper. They decided on their own shape and created from there. It was an another great day in the books!
