dust drawing: fern#1

By  Rachel Gibson 2014
'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 'it is the way a drawing can hover on the edge of existence that makes its language so eloquent'
