A4-kollektiivi (E. Eilittä & Anni Haunia): Värikarttoja, yksityisnäyttely, 2023.
A4-kollektiivin Värikarttoja-yksityisnäyttely oli esillä Asbestos Art Spacessa, Helsingissä, tammikuussa 2023. A4-kollektiivi oli koko näyttelyn ajan paikalla hämmentämässä tuoksuvaa kuusenkuori-värjäyslientä. Kävijät saivat istua puupenkeillä ja hypistellä kasvivärjättyjä lankavyyhtejä.
“Galleriaan on koottu värjätyistä lankavyyhdeistä ja valokuvavedoksista rihmastoinen värikartta, joka esittelee erilaisia paikkoja ja niissä piileviä värejä. A4-kollektiivi on valinnut Värikarttoihin joutavan oloisia ja helposti ohitettavia paikkoja, kuten maantien piennar, radiomaston vierus ja umpeenkasvanut piha, joihin ei tyypillisesti mennä nauttimaan maisemasta. Näissä paikoissa korostuu, miten ihmisen jäljet sekoittuvat monien muiden tekijöiden aikaansaamien jälkien joukkoon.
Jokaisesta Värikarttojen paikasta on kerätty talteen kasvinosia, roskia ja muuta ainesta. Niiden avulla paikoissa piilevät värit on tallennettu kasvivärjäyksen keinoin lankavyyhteihin ja kierrätystekstiileihin. Värjäysprosessi on monivaiheinen ja hidas, mikä mahdollistaa paikkojen monimuotoisuuden äärelle pysähtymisen. Värjättyjen vyyhtien ja tekstiilien lisäksi näyttelyssä nähdään väläyksiä paikoista kierrätyskankaalle tulostetuissa mustavalkokuvissa.
Näyttelyn aikana tilassa tekeytyy Värikarttoja-näyttelyn värikartta, johon saa osallistua tuomalla mukanaan (tai vaikka poimimalla gallerian lähistöltä) jonkun pienen väriainetta sisältävän objektin, kuten kasvin palan tai biojätteen.
Näyttely on osa A4-kollektiivin jatkuvaa projektia, jossa etsitään taiteen keinoin uusia tapoja katsoa elinympäristöä uteliaasti ja arvostaen, ja tarkastellaan kriittisesti ihmisen toimijuutta osana ekosysteemejä.”

A4 collective (E. Eilittä & Anni Haunia): Värikarttoja (’Colour Maps’), solo exhibition, 2023.
The Colour Maps exhibition by A4 collective took place in Asbestos Art Space in Helsinki in January 2023. A4 collective was present during the whole exhibition, cooking a fragrant pigment soup made of spruce bark. The visitors were welcomed to sit on the wooden benches and fiddle the plant dyed ravels of thread.
“The exhibition is a rhizomey colour map installation made of hand-dyed ravels of thread and photographs. This colour map presents different places and the pigments hiding in them. A4 collective has chosen places that are somehow idle and easy to dismiss, e.g. the surroundings of a radio mast or an overgrown courtyard - spots that one doesn’t usually visit to enjoy the beauty of nature. In these places it’s visible how traces of human actions blend with traces of other(-than-human) agents.
Pieces of plants, litter and other small objects have been collected from every spot represented in the colour map. These have been used in traditional plant dyeing process, capturing the pigments from every spot on ravels of thread and recycled fabrics. The process of plant dyeing is slow and contains several steps, which gives one time and space to contemplate over the polymorphism of the places. In addition to the ravels and fabrics the spots are also presented in the exhibition through black and white photographs printed on recycled fabrics.
The colour map of the ‘Colour maps’ exhibition is brewing in the gallery during the exhibition. You are welcome to participate by bringing with you a small object that contains pigment, for example a piece of a plant (sticks, leaves etc.) or a biowaste.
The exhibition is part of A4 collective’s on-going project, in which the collective uses artistic practices for seeking for new ways of seeing our habitat curiously and respectfully and re-examining critically the agency of human in ecosystems.”
Plant & Low impact dyes— inspiration & results 🌿 ~ A little glimpse into our recent colours development. It has been a long time coming and soon will launch on the website (earliest spring/May). New colours: pink, teal and yellow. OPEN FOR COLOUR NAME CONSIDERATIONS 💞 — ‘These dyes are achieved by manual labour essentially— meaning that I am present while the fabrics are streaming away, constantly checking on the results. For this reason, It is a little difficult to achieve exactly the same shade everytime (except red and black) but perhaps, this shall the beauty of our naturally dyed pieces.’ 💞 ~ #plantdye #plantdyedlingerie #sustainablelingerie #experiment #development #sustainablefashion #handmadelingerie #inspiration #smallbusinessuk #qrucifix (at United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn1E7yQMTlo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Hey so, remember Bertha? And how her project was just gonna last about a month? Weeeeell😅
So I just got back from summer vacation, and since I didn't have the time or spoons to end that little experiment before I left, she's been chilling out in the kitchen windowstill all summer. This is what she looks like now:
I went to a historical market the other week and ended up talking to one of the stall holders cuz she was selling homespun yarn and plantdyed yard (and ofc I couldn't help myself and did not leave the stall empty handed) and complained a little to her that my own plantdying project didn't go so well, and wanna know what she told me??? That of course it wasn't going well, spruce needles don't give off colour for plantdying purposes!!🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
Well, Bertha has gained a little bit of colour over the summer, in fact more than I have tbh, do that's kind of a win right? Right?
I think I'm gonna have a go at taking her out of her jar and rinsing her out today. Rain will help wash away any horrible smells right?

So its been about a week and I actually got some notes on my post about Bertha so here's an update!
Basically... nothing's happened so far🙃 the book says that you should start seeing some change after a week, but no dice so far😔.
We do have quite a bit of bubbles though, and I'm hoping that means the fermentation process has started. If nothing happens by friday I might try to help it along a bit with some dry yeast and see if that helps.
This is Bertha. She's gonna be living in my windowsill for the next three weeks and I'm just super excited about her and needed to share. She's my second ever attempt at plantdying and first attempt at colddying. Hopefully she'll become green and maybe one day she'll become a pair of socks or gloves.
am so lucky to find THIS growing wild on Marathon Lake! This is Alkanna tinctoria, also known as alkanet. It is a herb in the borage family. Learn more about it in our online course on natural dyeing, which is in Greek. Price: 50 euros - see more at jointheflow.net Keep reading on alkanet. The root produces a fine red colouring material, which has been used as a dye in the Mediterranean region since antiquity. The root as a dyestuff is soluble in alcohol, ether, and the oils, but is insoluble in water. It is used to give colour to wines and alcoholic tinctures, to vegetable oils, and to varnishes. Powdered and mixed with oil, the alkanet root is used as a wood stain. When mixed into an oily environment, it imparts a crimson color to the oil, which when applied to a wood, moves the wood color towards dark-red-brown rosewood, and accentuates the grain of the wood Alkanet is traditionally used in Indian food under the name ratan jot, and lends its red colour to some versions of the curry dish rogan josh. In Australia, alkanet is approved for use as a food colouring, but in the European Union. It has been used as colorant for lipstick and rouge. In alkaline environments, alkanet dye has a blue color, with the color changing again to crimson on addition of an acid. The colour is red at pH 6.1, purple at 8.8 and blue at pH 10. Hence, it can be used to do alkali-acid litmus tests (but the usual litmus test paper does not use alkanet as the agent and its color change is closer to pH 7. The colouring agent in A. tinctoria root has been chemically isolated and named alkannin. In folk medicine, it is also used to treat abscesses and inflammations. #naturaldye #naturaldyeingworkshop #plantdye #wilddye #naturaldyeing #naturaldyeingworkshop #naturaldyersofinstagram #herbnerd #myherbalstudies #foraging #primitiveskills #plantdyes #botany #alkanet #alkannatinctoria #Boraginaceae #dyersofinstagram #rewilding #wildcolor Text by Wikipedia.
