ABOUT ME
Oak Gall Ink Decor Maine Magazine
Editorial illustration for an article by Chelsea Scduder for Decor Maine Magazine
The article reflects on the search for meaning in creative practice within a context of ecological crisis and personal disconnection. Through the discovery of oak galls and the slow process of making handmade ink, the author rediscovers a more mindful and grounded way of creating, in contrast to the speed and productivity of the digital world. This process allows her to reconnect with nature, curiosity, and her own creative rhythm, leading her to rethink the value of small artistic acts—not for their outcome or usefulness, but for the deep relationship they foster with the living world and with oneself.
