foot

I drew it thinking about the comfort of walking barefoot on the soil. I'm looking at the asphalted ground, and I feel like my connection with nature has been cut off.

Pigments are made by collecting soil from places and around us that have happened by chance and refining it. In addition, hemp bags discarded at local bean sprouts factories are reused as canvases. Slaked lime for agriculture is mixed with fibers from hemp bags to make plaster, and before it dries, the soil is drawn with paint dissolved in well water. We use a fresco technique where the calcium component of the plaster coats and fixes the soil. Partially, I use tempera technique where I draw with soil mixed with egg yolk and vinegar. It is a technique that does not fade.

I am making it at home surrounded by nature.
