Tip-off from Dwell
http://www.dwell.com/
Before the Industrial Revolution turned us onto synthetic blue pigments,artists and alchemists concocted the color using the woad plant. In this newexhibition at The Hive Gallery, four artists—-Ellen Fader, Judi Pettite, MiriamFagan, and Jessica Serran—return to the source, exploring natural blue hues intheir multi-media work with woad.
