Strata - Earth Memories

This body of work was prompted by an open exhibition that called for sustainable art.

My medium of choice had been acrylic for the preceding several years, initially for its practicality. The more time I invested in learning the medium and how to maximise its attributes, the more difficult it became to move away from it. But I thought that the exhibition was the opportunity for me to try out some more environmentally friendly mediums.

The alternative medium I chose was powder pigments and fish skin gelatine. Largely because of unfamiliality with the medium, I struggle to layer the paint as per my usual process - hence collages using thin tissues and tapioca glue.
