Infusing Art with. the Essence of Gemstones — A Journey into Metamorphic Mediums
TRANSFORMATION: FROM EARTH TO ART
We source a diverse array of different gemstones: first we sweep local mineral businesses, and if they do not have what we wish to use we then order online direct from the humans who hand forage them. These treasures, formed over millennia, are chosen not only for their aesthetic allure but for the unique vibrations they carry. Through a ritualistic process, we grind select stones into fine pigments, seamlessly integrating their essence into plasters and custom pigment formulas. This infusion imparts subtle hues and textures, allowing the artwork to emanate the intrinsic properties of the minerals.
However, not all gemstones undergo this transformation. Many retain their raw, unaltered beauty, becoming focal points within our compositions. These stones are thoughtfully embroidered onto canvases, yarn holding them into place, or encased within concrete, serving as tangible conduits of the Earth's raw energy.
Each gemstone we incorporate is selected for its distinct energetic signature, contributing to the holistic narrative of the artwork:
Embedded in the foundation of our creative identity gemstones and metamorphic rocks are the soul-infused elements that breathe life, energy, and depth into each piece. Our artistic process intertwines the ancient wisdom of these stones with contemporary techniques, crafting works that resonate on both visual and energetic frequencies.
