Mythological
A paper series for spring and bringing the inner world to light.
All pieces are painted with handmade inks, crafted with foraged and botanical pigments. And the grapevine charcoal was made in our fireplace this winter.
“You enter the forest at the darkest point, where there is no path. Where there is a way or path, it is someone else’s path. You are not on your own path, if you follow someone else’s way, you are not going to realize your potential.”
These pieces were inspired by learning new myths, the alluring inner world, and a collaboration with friends at Rigour & Whimsy. Do you see the turquoise sun and dark trees emerging from these ink shapes?
Color sources for this series: copper wire (oxidized), walnut, marigold, rust, indigo, caliosa flower, and cochineal.
I hope these pieces bring delight and inspire courage for your path!
