Tilke Elkins is a multi-media social practice artist, and founder of Wild Pigment Project, an organization that promotes ecological balance and regenerative economies through a passion for wild pigments, their places of origin, and their cultural histories.

In this podcast episode, Tilke sheds light on how synthetic pigments came to dominate the industry of color; how working with place-based, wild-harvested pigments transforms our perceptions of color as consumers, creatives, or as artists; and more.
