Natural Wine Label: Albedo
A personal project: 1 of 3 wine label designs for white, orange and red natural wine, based on 3 stages from the alchemical process.
Inspiration
Albedo (for a White Wine): "In alchemy, albedo is one of the four major stages of the magnum opus, along with nigredo, citrinitas and rubedo. It is a Latinicized term meaning "whiteness". Following the chaos or massa confusa of the nigredo stage, the alchemist undertakes a purification in albedo, which is literally referred to as ablutio – the washing away of impurities. This phase is concerned with "bringing light and clarity to the prima materia (personal material)".
Method
India ink, sponge and brush; digital colour and digital hand lettering.
