Description

Tannin and Rust is a wall print made of autumn leaves into discarded paper, and rusty solution using the Botanical printing method. In my practise as a sustainable Botanical printer I aim at using local resources to create unique works of Art that reflects Nature around me. This print is unique and can not be duplicated but I use a process to create that does not leave a carbon foot print behind. Autumn leaves, rusty bits collected to create a mordant solution and Art paper that stopped being useful are the bases I work with. The gentle steaming process transfer the tannin left in the leaves onto the paper in a permanent mark. The limited leaves are used sandwiched to create a double print.
The combination of paper dipped into tannin to create the background is making creating a unique and soft colour palette that is southing to the soul. This print reminds a walk in the park.
It will age gracefully as the Botanical printing process keeps oxidising with time.
