Swart soos Bruide

SWART SOOS BRUIDE “black as brides” is an ecoprint of Waboom ink (Protea Nitida) and Rust on heavy weave organic hemp

1300 x 900 mm (framed in a black box frame)

a lover introduced me to Nitida

her full name Protea Nitida, more commonly known as Waboom

his enthusiasm for South African Fynbos

sparked a deep interest inside me

to find the source of her black soot-like ink

her leaves to be left standing

in a cauldron of rust and water

weeks pass

and the purest black ink is revealed

and then I collaborate with her…
