Dove Bradshaw
silver, aluminum, liver of sulfur, varnish, gesso on cotton abaca paper, 32 x 22 inches
Bradshaw began making what she calls Contingency works in 1984. Over the next few years they developed in several directions. The most basic form is silver-leafed paper or canvas on to which a substance called liver of sulfur is poured or brushed. Liver of sulfur is a 17th century term which is still used (the modern form is sulfurated potash). When this agent is applied to silver, the surface becomes unstable, changing in various ways in response to ambient humidity and heat. In Contingency Paintings Bradshaw brushes the whole surface with liver of sulfur, in Contingency Pours she pours it and lets it spread and pool as gravity dictates. Upon contact the silver turns a brilliant gold, then gets turquoise hues in a pitted or streaked form, then deep blue, then a greenish color, and eventually an iridized black. The initial chemical reaction is most noticeable, but it keeps going at a slower rate thereafter, and never stops. The effect is indeterminate in the sense that the result is unpredictable and often surprising.

One can spend a great amount of time and effort planning for contingencies, and may even come up with good solutions for 90% of the challenges. Then reality intrudes and teaches you about the 10% you didn't think of.
I've got a folding camp grill and bag of briquettes on which to cook. Brand new. Never used. But when the power went out as a result of the Dec 20th 6.4 magnitude Ferndale quake, I didn't want to open the freezer to jeopardize everything in it. The house was cool and all we wanted was something hot to drink followed by a nice hot bowl of soup from a can. And I bought a camp grill why???
With that incentive, I came up with a solution using available tools, an empty soup can, and a bag of little tea candles. Three candles can heat two cups of water in 45 minutes and a can of soup or chili in about an hour. Problem solved.
Now I've got a better idea of our priorities for the next time power goes out. There's no better teacher than experience.
