By Heidi Gustafson
In this part rock guide, part art book, and part earth magic, "ochre whisperer" Heidi Gustafson welcomes us inside her rare working collection of more than six hundred ochre pigments (humankind's oldest art material) from around the planet. Heidi's poetic passion, field experience, and cross-cultural relationships with other ochre stewards around the globe not only challenge how we interact with the inanimate world around us, but also helps us appreciate how ochre connects us to the earth and to one another today.
