Jeremy J. Siedt’s work explores the boundaries and potential of corrosive metals and natural ephemeral material in painting. He captures the color and movement of individual elements during the process of corrosion. Metal is laid behind the canvas and stained by working from the front with different solutions.

Process and material are the most important aspects of his method. Vigorous, repetitive motions act as imprint and record of the harsh interaction between destruction and rebirth. These paintings act as relics that express the impact of nature on man-made materials. We often forget that nature inevitably wins the battle in which nature reclaims space and material.
