Washington-based artist and researcher Heidi Gustafson collects natural minerals for the Early Futures Ochre Archive and has gathered and catalogued over 550 samples. Archaeologists, scientists, and creatives from around the world have contributed to the collection. She grinds the ochre into pigments, which she sells to artists and also uses for her own work. Processed samples are added to glass vials and organized by region or dominate mineral type.
