Color From Earth
Color can begin as a material question. Lapis suggests ultramarine; carnelian and amazonite sit beside it as orange and blue-green references, not ingredients to grind. A jar of ultramarine pigment, a glass muller and empty storage jars lay out the steps of a small color study. The scene stops before mixing, with the three stones clean and whole. The goal is to notice how earth colors differ before making a mark.
