About Raw Umber
The members of Raw Umber are: Bernadette Glorioso, Stephen Csejtey, Antonia Davis, Beth Ciborek and Rebecca Urbanski. Their mediums range from traditional oil and acrylic paint to film and digital photography. Some members of the group have begun experimental and explorative works using a natural pigment making process.
With the knowledge that the paints, fixatives, and other materials used by many artists of the past and present are harmful to the environment, our intention is to explore natural ways of creating art that will be safer and
less hazardous to ourselves and the world around us. In this process we are also able to gain a deeper understanding, closeness and affinity for nature. Raw umber literally translates to earth of shadow or shade. Umber is obtained from certain natural clays variously colored by the oxides of iron and manganese. If used in this form as a pigment it is referred to as raw umber. If it is heated or burned it then becomes burnt umber. To be raw means to exist in a natural state without having gone through the processes of refinement or manufacture. Our goal is to create art of nature; unrefined, from the earth, and manufactured purely by us. We are interested in the potential that lies in the natural world, in doing our part to keep this world and ourselves alive and healthy, and in infusing these ideas with our creative processing and art making.
