About this work
A natural dye studio at night. Steam of fermented indigo and lime leaks through the door. Cheonga is thirty-eight. Her indigo-stained nails catch a white collar. Her husband is toasting someone else's painting at an exhibition opening.
Pull your hands back toward the drying racks and the night is a dip. Leave them in the vat, and this stops being a workshop.
