#tbt to #pigmentmaking a couple of months ago! I am quite happy with the results and really did enjoy the process! This is a snapshot of crushing chrysocolla ore which is a hydrated coper phylosilicate mineral. . . . . . . . #experimental #archaeology #bronzeage #pigments #materialsandtechniques #cycladiccolourincontext #cycladicart #earlybronzeage #bronzeageart #aegeanarchaeology #greekarchaeology #archaeologylife #cyclades (at Sheffield Bioincubator) https://www.instagram.com/p/B088iX0HBT-/?igshid=17zybjlvlgzw0

The fruity work so far from my artist residency @ccandratx ❤️ on the island of Mallorca 🏝 • Notes from an island (which may or may not reach you depending on your algorithm) 🌜🏝✨ • In my experience, artist residencies represent the opportunity to play Frankenstein - turn my practice inside out, chip-chop influences and re-visit my past, wrestle with my present and reinvent a new future. • This time round the main objective is to take a look at the materials from which I make my work; using natural plant dyes, sourcing pigments from the island - as well as the more plastic/artificial materials. I've been crushing and grinding, foraging and finding; as well as maintaining some relative sanity through collaging, drawing and painting. • Here’s my PALME MORTRE NEGRE pigment made from the charcoal of a burned 🌴🔥 mixed with linseed oil 💘 • #frankenstein #experimentarium #pigmentmaking #plantdye #naturalcolours #plastic #🌎 #process #progresso #alchemy #chemistry #develop #winover #palmemorte #worksonpaper #naturaloils #mallorca #andratx #reducing #materiality #jameselkins #hipermarket #shinypokemon (at CCA Andratx) https://www.instagram.com/danielvandernoon/p/CXjKcAUs-W8/?utm_medium=tumblr

Never never never doing this pigment again. 😂 Elaterite is naturally soft, elastic and sticky (and smells like tarmac). Elaterite is natural bitumen, its a soft dark brown black elastic resin making it terrible to work with. 😅 #handmadewatercolors #handground #handmadewatercolours #watercolours #watercolors #paint #painting #paintmaking #pigment #pigmentmaking #elaterite #resin #elastic #natural #grinding #derbyshire #UK #handmade #mineralpaint #mineralwatercolours #mineral https://www.instagram.com/p/CAaKWTWnWB5/?igshid=l85szibuinnm

Chondrite Meteorite. I will luckily be able to make 2 half pans of this. It took 3 rocks to make 2 half pans! 😪😋 It's amazing to think you can paint with rocks from space! 🤩🌌🌠 #meteorite #space #paint #handmadewatercolors #handmadewatercolours #watercolours #watercolor #pigment #stone #natural #astronomy #brown #africa #handmade #pigmentmaking #handground #rockgrinding #aquarelle #naturalpigment #watercolors https://www.instagram.com/p/CAYSJq4HZFV/?igshid=wcxgqmpxdtji

A better shot of the #cinnabar #mineral #ore I used to produce my #pigments. Derives from the Almadén mines, Spain. #pigmentmaking #spain #bronzeage #experimental #archaeology #art #archaeologylife #painting #paintingmaterials #paint #materialsandtechniques #materials #fineart #cycladicart #cycladicfigurines #aegeanarchaeology #aegean #earlybronzeage #experimentalarchaeology (at Sheffield Bioincubator) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzYiIS8Hran/?igshid=9ai8z7zlany9

Some more pictures of the #painting process #inthelab for my experimental dissertation. I really enjoyed doing this from the start till the end. Now It's time for a short weekend break ;) #experimentalarchaeology #bronzeageart #cycladicart #cycladiccolour #cyclades #marblepainting #marblepolishing #azurite #paint #archaeology #earlybronzeage #cycladicfigurines #cycladiccolourincontext #pigments #pigmentmaking #paintingmaterials #art #fineart #ancientart #traditionalmaterials #archaeologylife #craftpractice #naxosmarble #tempera #encausticpainting (at Sheffield Bioincubator) https://www.instagram.com/p/BylnHVMnl_8/?igshid=3hs3bajqrzmg

Today I was very excited to see the result of #azurite grinding into #pigment. The colour is unexpectedly vibrant and luckily crushed into a very thin powder which has a very nice feeling to it. Here you can see some pictures of the grinding process and the final product as well. Cannot wait to test it! #pigmentmaking #bronzeagearchaeology #archaeologylife #archaeology #sheffield #aegeanarchaeology #art #fineart #ancientart #ancientpainting #traditionalpainting #paintingtechniques #experimentalarchaeology #colour #blue #color #painting #artist #cycladicart #bronzeage #cyclades (at Sheffield Bioincubator) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwSkt-Mgb2p/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=246g3j009wws

Here are some pictures of the finished product! In sequence of appearance you see chrysocolla, cinnabar, and haematite pigments. After the levigation process they are now dry and ready to use. The bigger lumps you see in the pictures are still finely crushed particles that came together when drying. #archaeology #pigment #archaeological #experimentalarchaeology #bronzeage #aegean #art #fineart #pigmentmaking #newproject #ancientart #mediterranean #cycladicart #cyclades #picoftheday #artistsoninstagram #artist #ancienttechniques (at Sheffield Bioincubator) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwPvKVvgCMM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pri7thio5t07

So I've been trying some pigment-making techniques in the lab for my dissertation pertaining, amongst others, to the production and usage of Early Bronze Age pigments in the Cyclades. Here are some pictures of azurite, cinnabar, chrysocolla and haematite pigment making. The usage of these materials in the period of question is evident from the archaeological record. #archaeology #archaeologylife #art #fineart #pigment #pigmentmaking #inthelab #aegeanarchaeology #sheffield #universityofsheffield #paint #traditionaltechniques #cyclades #cycladicfigurines #azurite #cinnabar #chrysocolla #hematite #minerals #semipreciousstones #colours #color #archaeologist (at Sheffield Bioincubator) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwCdG9ogUF8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=g992lyh0vkxj
