The Elements
Earth
Barberton red soil
Gathered from old mining sites and weathered tracks, the local earth brings physical grit and honest mineral pigment directly into the mix.
Metal
Oxidised iron and copper
Discarded metal scraps left out in the Mpumalanga weather. Their copper patinas and rust crusts offer textures no manufactured pigment can fake.
Process
The happy mistake
Some paintings are carefully planned. Others begin because I apparently cannot leave well enough alone and a spill becomes the best part.
