Mined Rock Core Works on Paper
To extract rock cores, mines clear 30 feet of trees to insert a 5" wide steel pipe for mechanical operations. These works on paper conceptually tie rock to paper, two critical natural resources. Pigments were made using the cores and juxtaposing them with rocks mixed with calcium hydroxide (lime), the primary chemical mines use for extractions.
