Detail of ​Withered Rose

Withered Rose,​  was created in part as an experiment and study of the selected tree that I used for my representation of Fallen.  ​Pigments were taken from the tree bark and dirt of the site, and used with other natural materials to create the colors that were applied to a recycled wood panel, in which a custom frame was built to support the wheat-pasted strands of torn t-shirts, including them within the composition.  ​It is part of my continuing research of natural pigments and traditional application methods, yet with a contemporary hand.
