The artwork submitted for assessment is part of a series titled ‘We are all Stardust,’ exploring materials derived from cosmic elements. They investigate the creative process with stardust through practice-based research, including meditation and storytelling about these ancient elemental materials. Most of these primordial elements found on earth are older than earth itself. They were once stardust floating in space, and through gravitational forces, were gathered up during the making of our earth.

Unit 2: 5 December 2024: Material Investigation: Ink and Magnesium
Materials investigations with magnesium flakes and ink, inspired by previous watercolor projects. However, the magnesium didn’t dissolve, resulting in sticky, gooey ink. Despite initial failures, I observed interesting metallic orange effects. The water in the mixture also struggled with the paper’s absorbency, indicating a need for better materials.
