ACACIA MEDITATION
2024
14x17" , unframed , silk is stretched around wooden frame bars , wired & ready to hang as-is
Naturally dyed silk textile / dyed by hand with acacia tree extract, painted with cochineal insects and iron salt.
This is a hand-dyed and painted original work of art.
I grow my own plants and flowers to use for pigment, forage locally for wildflowers, use food scraps, or occasionally purchase natural pigments from ethically sourced producers located around the world.
Please understand that this piece is made from natural & botanical materials, and that the pigments may evolve over time due to exposure to sunlight and other environmental conditions, which is part of the artwork and ephemeral concept behind "living color." I recommend displaying the artwork in a spot that does not receive direct sunlight, especially during peak hours, in order to best preserve the piece.
Please inquire with any questions prior to purchasing as I am unable to accept returns.
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS -- if you are based outside of the U.S., please be aware of any unique import taxes, duties, or fees that your country may apply to this purchase, as these will be the responsibility of the buyer.
