New Work Begun

I started some new pieces yesterday. Red onions are my favorite, because of their color and the ring pattern they leave. This one is sliced red onions, but this time I dipped the canvas in white vinegar before placing the onions on it. The red of the onions is starting to stain the fabric, which doesn't happen in a non-acidic environment.

This one is nails wrapped in wet canvas, and they're already starting to rust.

I'm also dyeing some canvas green using nettles, for the background of the mold-dyed pieces.
