Quote:”A pair of Dutch artists dissect vegetables and research elemental dyes in their tiny Eindhoven studio; the results reveal the depth and range of color achievable using pigments derived from beets, cabbage, eggplant, and more.
Daniera ter Haar and Christoph Brach’s fascination with the raw dying process has resulted to several installations highlighting the stages of the dying process. Den Haag design shop Edwin Pelser recently commissioned Raw Color , the duo’s design firm, to create a series of silk scarves dyed with vegetable pigments. The artists derived the pigments from beets, purple cabbage, eggplant, cantaloupe, purple heirloom potatoes, and colored bell peppers, which yielded eighteen different vibrant shades. For information on the silk scarves, contactEdwin Pelser for pricing and availability.
N.B.: See photographs of the 70-square-meter Raw Color Studio based in a former factory building called the Klokgebouw.”
