Working towards relationship with ritual-land-art, and in observance of the Air element, these canvases were laid on the earth below a ‘wind painting’ contraption (made of plant brush suspended from tree branches with ivy vine). The intention was to allow the wind to manipulate the strokes throughout a span of days and weather conditions. These are the resultants of soil, rainwater, and animal agitations.
