Flint Water On Paper

Residue was a series of material experiments with contaminated Flint Water. The paper would be submerged for days, but coloration of the water did not translate a pigment to the paper. The pigment of the Flint Water was revealed by lightly sanding the paper. This became a mediation on material as content to examine the trauma of environmental injustice on the body politic.
