studio work: april 2026

Teabag ink and paint experiments in progress -  There are 2 kinds of inks, 1 is pigment based and the other is a chemical reaction. One of the oldest inks used by humans, not including squid ink, is the chemical reaction kind where naturally occurring tannin in plants and organic materials reacts with ferrous sulphate  ttps://www.acs.org/content/dam/acsorg/education/outreach/ncw/plan-an-event/educational-resources/making-ink-with-tea-and-Iron-hist.pdf 
My experiments are playing very loosely with the science and the process is developing in interesting directions. In this documentation both methods are being tested.
