Labor and Rain here in the Berkshires for Labor Day weekend…

In these pieces I’m coordinating the application of pigments and wheat flour/sea salt

with the various rains; downpour, steady, to sprinkles and the length of time I leave them in the rain for their textural, binding and energetic qualities with the rain as the vehicle for the pigment/flour salt.

I can work the color, line, form and overall design, etc. with just the dry or use the rain to wet the cardboard initially.  My methods of application are widely variable within that conditional range...
