dust drawing : blown away

By  Rachel Gibson 2014

Rachel Gibson

dust is fragile, ephemeral, transient, like a falling leaf, like a breath This work is part of a series developed in association with Florence Paintmakers Ltd Cumbria. The drawings use raw natural pigment taken from rock sources in Cumbria and then finely ground. Egremont Florence Red Kirkby Grey St. Bees Yellow 'its the way a drawing can hover on the edge of existence that makes its language so eloquent.'
