Foraged Ink | Molly Holmlund
Molly is an artist fascinated by the process of hand making inks. Her work reveals a closer look into the multiple connections in nature, through extracting and applying color from plants and minerals.
The use of natural materials creates a unique alchemy in the inks, allowing a different way of mixing and layering than traditional paints. This brings a sense of collaborating with the material, all while letting nature speak for itself.
Molly keeps the forms simple, as to not distract from the nuances in the layers and color itself. She is drawn towards what lays in between, the negative spaces created by various layers of the overlapping ink.
The results are gestural marks that are expressive of both the materials and herself.
