In the spirit of past artists, who collected squid ink (sepia), lantern scrapings (lamp black) or dirt (burnt/raw umber, burnt/raw sienna, terre verte)... force-fed mango leaves to cows (indian yellow)... crushed countless red-shelled beetles (carmine)... (etcetera), Nola Avienne works with a pigment that is very close to us all-- reddish-brown, iron-rich blood. See her website for amazing work also with iron filings and magnets.
