Coffee & Pigment

I drink too much coffee.
Way too much, in fact for someone who's sensitive to caffeine.

I was looking for a way to visually quantify my coffee consumption in a way that a pie-chart wouldn’t do. So I combined my love for the aesthetics of a good stain with my love for russet beverages, and ended up saving half of my morning coffee (in a "one for me, and one for my fallen homies" sort of way) and pouring it on a canvas.

I really liked where it was going, so I started adding Alizarin Crimson pigment to my left over coffee, which is why what you see has taken on a reddish-brown cast.

I don't know when this will be "done" but a stopping point is sure to reveal itself.
I'll update the images as it changes.
