Ocher Wall

A little bit of alchemy happens while we look at this. Ocher/ochre is perhaps the basest pigment, ancient potions mixed from varying parts of clay and iron and sand. It is taken from three earths; the pliable the strong and the shifting. Like a dying sun it ranges from pale yellow through to deep brown, and while we look at this all we want to see is gold.
