In the midst of our processes, artists exist in relationship to industry, and our environments which are built through industrialially created and extracted materials. Contemporary artists have access to materials and pigments, tools, and processes via the mechanisms of heavy industry. Materials seized by artists are then transformed in alchemical practice.
