Materials: ecology textbook, iron mordant, smooshed blackberries, Japanese maple, sweet onion skins, liquid amber, smokebush, steam, and concentrated Earthlust.
I pressed maple leaves into iron-infused botany textbook pages and bound them in linen around a dowel that I steamed in a turkey pot with onion skin for a couple of hours and then I photographed the pigment print on a light table through textured glass, which I’m pretty sure is how you make maple syrup.
