COASTER DESCRIPTION
This double-exposed, hand-tinted black and white photograph is from the “Earth Renewal” series, a body of work which illustrates the ancient teachings that we still honor our role as caregivers to our mother, the earth. The original images range in size from 16x20” to 4x5’. The pigment is from Marshall Photo Oils which is applied to the surface of the photograph with cotton balls and Q-tips.
