this diptych "roots and seeds"  on my studio floor this morning is an emerging growth of "close up of a new". Named now "roots and seeds" is at http://bit.ly/KCYqOU, entered June 6, 2012

mounted on two semi-identical recycled furniture parts that mirror each other. These are taped and I will use recycled wood screws to tie this partially worked Himalayan grid paper to them.

"roots and seeds" with slices of a turmeric rhizome and a lily seed pod as core to each panel expression. Wheat paste has been drawn in to each panel, roots a grounded design and seeds that of the pod's expression of above dispersing to ground. It's a spring/summer time event.

"roots and seeds" (a)

using a Himalayan grid paper initially, laying out the sliced Turmeric root, pouring of wheat paste, drying and removal of loose material on this one at this point in it. The loose material will either go back into this one or on to another, or tossed somewhere.
