Galaxy Ecoprint

Ecoprint with paint splattered to look like a galaxy with green painted sides. Mounted and ready to hang. Panel boards made of reclaimed wood. Maul grows and harvests all the plants and flowers she uses in her art from her home in Hollis, NH.

Measures 9 inches wide by 9 inches tall by 1-3/4 inches thick.

Artist’s note: “Ecoprinting involves soaking watercolor paper overnight in an alum solution (a mordant) and the next day placing flowers, leaves, berries, etc. on the paper. Next comes folding and rolling and binding it all tightly together and then boiling the bundle in a huge pot for an hour or so during which time the colors are permanently transferred into the plant fibers. After unraveling it all I then dry them, iron them and try to find a pleasing composition in the chaos. I sometimes use paints, pencils, pens, mica powder and metal leaf on some pieces which is why some of them look more like abstract art than a picture of a flower. I have made all of the panel boards that my ecoprints are mounted on out of reclaimed wood. I feel a duty to be a good steward of the Earth and creating as little waste and being as friendly to the environment as I possibly can are high on my personal priority list.”
