pigments, project of the self- sufficient garden for artists
To know exactly what we're making art with, we should make it ourselves...this idea grew into the "SELF-SUFFICIENT GARDEN FOR ARTISTS", which developed pigments from plants, natural binders and finally the canvas in the process from seed to spun and woven textile. With special thanks to Christiane www.faserundfarbe.at, Karin www.instagram.com/fabric.of.life/ and Tristan biosain.at
