“River Silt” is a one-of-a-kind mixed media art piece that began as am oil-based wash painting. The texture was created from the artists spilled coffee grounds to depict the aqueous and sedimentary movement of river silt. This piece highlights the similarities in pattern between nature viewed from a macroscopic, microscopic, and telescopic perspective, speaking to themes of interconnectivity with all of life. This image is transferred onto cotton rag paper stained with Persian black tea, and is mounted to a wood panel using archival glue.

This piece comes with a custom handmade redwood frame made from salvaged fence boards by artist and craftsman Vincent Waring. The work measures 14”H x 11”W x 1.5”D and is protected with glass. The frame is sealed with an organic handmade wood polish created by the artist.
