Today's #Caravanserail post is a light forage (ha) into two colours gathered on the go. And seal pups. SEAL PUPS.

Here's a text version of my Stanford talk for anyone who prefers reading over watching: https://majnouna.substack.com/p/the-art-of-letting-go

I sometimes make process videos for techniques I use or the making of entire pieces (forced into it, like many artists, by another algorithmic site). Right now I'm making a few small-scale editions of my piece Loss, with the same materials and techniques: cut paper, gold leaf and plant dyes that will fade in time. I'm having quite a lot of fun boiling up colour plants again to dye paper scraps.

I'll kick off this account by sharing a few recent #artworks. This piece is from a series that reflects on the #loss of our world and what may emerge from the ruins:
LOSS فقد — #PlantDyes, gold leaf and cut paper, 50x50 cm.
It was assembled a year ago (see last pic for fresh hues) and left exposed to sunlight: the fragile plant colours become muted and fade, but the genuine gold of the seed-like dots will endure and stand out all the more.
