I found her...Cathy Aten...unfortunately it says her site is under construction so you can't see a good sampling of her "dirt paintings". There's a couple towards the bottom of this galleries page of her work; the ones on the wall with cracked dried dirt was what I saw.<br />

The compositions of the wall hanging ones I saw were flatter and more complex though. I have a flyer but it's copies from a magazine article ("New Mexico" magazine. Jan 2006) and I don't think they would scan well.<br />

Anyway, worth sharing since we're talking creative materials here. Dirt and rocks and colored clay, sometimes a small bone...all very earth pure.

I'll have to look up her name again, it's in a bunch of gallery fliers I brought back.<br />
The gallery where I saw her work doesn't seem to be showing her right now.<br />
I'm not sure how she did it but the surface of her work was actually dirt, maybe glued to the backing. She floated some balls of sand or dirt (probably a wooden core or something) on wires out from the backing, sort of a floating effect, and there were some strings I remember; great shadows! They looked like excavation digs or…

Thanks I'm working on documenting what I am learning... and I will def post what I learn as I go... I find that so many elements (temp of tea, is the tea the fresh or fermented, the type of paper, surface etc etc) affect the results.<br />

What does the woman in Santa Fe do with dirt???

You have a really nice start there...I haven't worked in teas but I know it's done. I guess the experimenting will be necessary. I like the thought of the different tones different teas would give. I wonder how light-fast they'd be in the end. That's something to research if you want your work to be long lasting right? Berries seem to last a long time, such as native American works with fabric. Good luck with this, be sure to share more results as you go eh?<br />

When I worked at Landfall press ( <a href="http://www.landfallpress.com">http://www.landfallpress.com</a> ) I had the pleasure of Tea Staining a few Lesley Dill's ( <a href="http://www.landfallpress.com/dill.htm">http://www.landfallpress.com/dill.htm</a> ). Your work is different in the sense that it is being used more like watercolor stains which lends itself to a more airy quality. I think you might like Lesley's stuff though it can be more sculptural.
