providence : september ‘21
September contributor Sydney Matrisciano writes: “Providence is a warm mauve, sourced from an exposed bluff in the Pine Belt of Mississippi at a disturbed road site. It was collected with intention and gratitude to be shared with the Ground Bright community. Providence was washed and filtered of organic material, dried, and ground under the hot Mississippi summer sun with the help of several dear friends. This pigment features in one of the pieces of my first collection as both a clay stain and mulled paint.”

Sydney writes: ‘I’m from Winona, Mississippi, and I’m a rising senior at Northwestern University. Last year, I began working with earth pigments through an undergraduate research grant for interdisciplinary studies. My work centers traditional techniques in embroidery and photography, combined with natural pigments, to highlight overlooked aspects of a scene.
