Logwood is a natural mordant dye, used for dyeing natural fabrics. It is sourced from the heartwood of logwood tree (Haematoxylum campechianum). Logwood produces different colours, like purple, lilac, ruddy, brown, navy blue, and black, depending on the mordant used (salts of different metals) and water pH.
This exhibition is the first in the cycle titled “Weaves”. Each installation will be exhibited for 3 months.
