Looking After: Art and Care in Education Across Kansas

Chromatography is a scientific technique used to separate parts of a substance, leaving color and patterns behind as observable evidence about the substance. Artist Claire Pentecost used this process with soil to create a portrait of the land the soil comes from, calling attention to the beauty of the ground we walk on and the scientific processes we use to understand it.
