ecopigments on canvas made from found red ochre local clay, firepit charcoal, mica and natural blue. 3 pigments are from the urban spring-fed lake that the painting attempts to describe, surrounded by boreal hills, as the ice freezes. The painting is loose, almost like calligraphy.

layered in pigments
touching fire remnants...

natural colour
hues
of backyard dried blood

materials: 3 pigments were gathered near the urban spring-fed lake, held within the boreal, as the ice freezes.
