It started with metal found on the ground
This is an ongoing investigation into the possibilities of rust as a printing medium. I initially used rusty metal I found outside, then started with more intentional concepts that involved cutting my own steel pieces in the waterjet, allowing them to corrode, then pressing the pieces directly into linen, canvas and silk. Some prints are made using water, vinegar, and salt, and left to develop slowly at room temperature. For others, I simmer the fabric, steel, and plants together for about an hour, producing a wider range of colors and reactions.
