Snail Away | Paper Machè and dirt on Linen (2022), 40x40cm

For this work,  I made a series of bio-inks. The materials used in the project were primarily sourced by reusing items within the home. I.e. not intentionally harvesting plant materials (ex, berries, dirt, etc) from outside forests or by printing or collecting paper from outside sources (only paper within the home). Food waste turned into inks, such as basil, oranges, or onions, which were also not intentionally bought to make inks, the shopping habits were not changed in order to make more ink colors but rather focused on using everything to its fullest extent.
