RUST
ah, rust. corruption, decay, failing. The result of carelessness, lack of vigilance. Rust is evidence of the amoral, perhaps even immoral, forces right here in the air around us!
Is rust the chance, the opportunity, to work with chance?
Here are four 5" x 7" pieces. I did them as mirrors of each other, sandwiching the rusted objects between two sheet of watercolor paper and then two pieces of 5" x 7" cloth prepared for dyeing.
Ways to Work with Rust
I use vinegar as the liquid to soak the paper and cloth in and then place the objects on it and keep it wet and sealed for 10 hours or more. Rust is not immediate. Rust takes patience.
