The Paint

Made from a combination of ingredients procured from Cornwall’s mining sites alongside especially selected materials this paint tells a story. For the project 12 individual shades of paint were created. One shade for the bulk of the mineral gallery's walls and 11 paints made for the individual dentils above the main door. (see below)
