adventures in natural dyeing
July 2024
Natural dye experimentation with plants (and insects such as cochineal) from my own kitchen or backyard! These colors were produced from black beans, yellow onion skins, cottonwood catkins, and cochineal. Additionally, I played with modifying the pH of various solutions to find different colors. There’s a childlike play that this process requires which takes part in my practice as both an artist and a scientist!
