ashes 10a - slate & lilac

created for the ashes2ashes project, conceptualized by @kells aka Kelly Burns

i received ashes from @scorpiondagger who produced and burned a piece of art containing a lineage of ashes from other artists' burnt works.

ashes were scanned on a flatbed scanner and a digital collage was made from the scans.

paint was made from the ashes and used to paint on a print of the collage.

collage was then scanned again and made into a gif

a still image from the final piece was "sonified" in audacity to make the sound that accompanies the gif.

collage was burned.

burning was documented.

ashes2ashes: "artist makes a work. documents that work, sets that work on fire, documents that fire, sends ashes to an artist. artist makes a work incorporating ashes. sets that work on fire. repeat. repeat. repeat. till there’s too much time and space between the burning stars and all the lights go out." - Kelly Burns
