Blue Mesa, Petrified Forest National Park – Donna Barnitz

© 2009 By Donna Barnitz

As artist-in-residence at Petrified Forest National Park, I had the opportunity to refine my rust dyeing technique. I went with the goal of replicating petrified wood with only rusty cans, wire, saltwater and tea bags and white cotton fabric. Combined with my hand dyed fabrics this is a grouping of petrified wood in the Keystone Arch area of the park.
