Three stages of making

Application

Oxidisation

Drying

Laying down heavy oil pigment mixed with local Barberton earth, charcoal dust, and found paper fragments onto raw, unprimed canvas.

Exposing applied copper foil and iron filings to moisture and air in the courtyard, allowing natural chemical decay over several weeks.

Allowing the surfaces to rest undisturbed in late studio light until the pigments stop demanding new marks and settle into permanence.

Private acquisitions and museum loans

Studio visits and artwork viewings are arranged individually in Barberton.
