this is slate i found on a walk in the country. to the naked eye, it looked mostly grey & black. i saw some color in it when i photographed it. When i saturated it at home? BAM! you can see all the mineral deposits it contained. Amazing, no?
making it up as i go
amy begun saab ~life as i see it. a Vermonter deeply entrenched in Alabama dirt…so i plant flowers.
There is something very special about your art. I’m so glad you help us see.

Hi Michael, Yes, i’ve since learned to pop up color on rocks that appear grey, when the saturation is increased, the mineral (& only God know’s what else) deposits come to light. AWESOME. ~amy
