Working on some zines and handmade books about earth pigments for an event, & also need to practice camo moths for some work next month... So I sketched a little trans pride paint moth over homemade paint - vivianite, red ochre + chalk, & slate + chalk.

Earth pigments connect artists of the past, present, & future like an unbroken brush stroke across history. These pigments have been with humans for as long as we've existed. Trans & non-binary people, queer people, whatever we've called ourselves or been called... Those of us who don't fit into our socially expected boxes, we have always existed too. We do and will continue to exist alongside these colours.

That's a bit heavy for a tiny fkn moth, I know 🙃... As soon as I'm thinking about earth pigments it's hard not to think about how things stretch across time, tho. 🤷
