chemical element + MINERAL EXPLORATION

alchemy & chemistry

I explore ancient and archival chemistry and non-medicinal alchemy This includes growing crystals, dissolving minerals, collecting fossils, exploring earth pigmets, and experimenting with cyanotypes on mineral surfaces.

CRYSTALS growth- Growing crystals with rocks that self grow (like dolomite) and chemical compounds (like aluminium sulfate).

fossil extraction- revealing fossils trapped within limestone by disSolving the stone in vinegar and carving at the external layer.

mineral collection- Foraging for special rocks, shells, and other minerals to use in my ye and kiln processes, etc.
