Inks
A seasonal colour journal. I have been exploring all the colours one can make in each season. I began making inks as a result of a longstanding interest in plants and colour. For me the practice of making inks is a way of engaging in time and place. The ink I make is made from foraged natural materials, from seasonally sourced berries, nuts, leaves, petals, minerals and metals to recycled plant matter and kitchen waste.
