The Alchemy of Iron

Description

The alchemy behind a glaze I created. It starts out brown but should've changed yellow when I mixed in pieces of zinc metal. Instead the zinc just burned off and only caused some areas to break yellow. Still, it makes for an interesting print.

The symbols around the figure represent different ingredients while the figure itself represents iron- the spear and shield form its symbol.

These symbolic etchings are great. I love the tantalizing layers of meaning they present.
