Watercolor on limestone paper

"Floating" is part of an ongoing series in which different brands of wallpaper paste are poured onto a limestone paper surface colored with watercolor paint. Depending on the manufacturer, the composition of the paste differs and creates different reactions and patterns. The work develops slowly in the drying process.

Lime and wallpaper paste are both materials that are used as building materials and in interior design. Likewise, they play an important role in human and plant bodies, respectively. While paste consists of starch, which is used by plants and green algae to store energy, calcium (an essential component of lime) is a vital mineral in the human body, which is involved in a sensitive network of metabolic processes to enable many bodily functions.
