Earthen Plastering in Colombia

I first discovered this method in Colombia and immediately fell in love with it.

Sifting the sand, refining the clay, gathering and chopping straw.

All these steps leading up to the actual work are already a beautiful, meditative process in themselves.

It feels like bringing a painting to life.

Like taking something from my imagination and slowly shaping it with my hands until it becomes real and tangible.

A method that has opened up new perspectives, new paths, and new doors for me.
