The Colors of our Environment
Open Notebook
During the pandemic, we were limited to moving around our nearby environments, which presented an opportunity to explore the resources around us. With an invitation from the MAC to research colors as pigments and dyes, I was able to recognize and present the different color palettes I found in the flora around me.
In 2020, I shared a bit of my story and work as an artist and participated in the OPEN NOTEBOOK project. To make this publication possible, I collaborated with the education department of the Museum of Contemporary Art and learned a lot. We created this publication that presents a color study in the simplest way with resources you can find in your environment. It shows step-by-step how to practice and apply these forms at home, school, garden, or market, inviting us to consider our relationship with our natural community.
Open Notebook is a digital publication aimed at students, teachers, families, and anyone who wants to learn! It includes information for reflection and activities designed to inspire creativity, created by over a dozen contemporary Peruvian artists.
