I'm experimenting with lime paint, lightbulbs, and floating avocado dyed paper painted a fierce pink on the back for a little glow. It feels like the paper is its own light source. Almost all of these materials are from the Castro hardware store (@hilario_sf ) so art can really be made from anywhere.
I've been dying paper with avocado pits and onion skins and getting these deep sweet peach colors to paint and draw on. You can soak the paper in the dye bath multiple times and oven dry it in between to get a lot of layers of pigment onto/into the paper.

A little preview of BEAM S/S '16 out in the high desert of West Texas, because these pieces feel most right among the mountains that inspired them.
