Disintegration by Earth

Here is my earth installation. Its very simple. After reading more about what some of the other artists did I wanted to follow suit and have some interesting papers to use in my art that had been aged in the natural elements. I am always trying to use my paints to make paper and object appear ancient. So for this second disintegration project I am burying a collection of papers etc. In my parcel are: text pages from a Russian science book, a German Bible an atlas, shelf liner, a brown paper bag, canvas, linen, Grunge board, newspaper, paper towels, pre-painted clayboard and tied up with some cotton lace. After I buried it I watered it in well to get the decomposing working as fast as possible. Maybe I will go dig up some red wigglers and transplant them into the dirt by my project. :) I love gardening and this is definitely a different twist on planting the seed.
