"On her travels, Jeannette Unite collects ore-containing sand from the dumps, as well as dust, overburden and metal oxides. She uses them as a painting medium on her picture carriers, which makes her art something very special. The artworks thus contain waste products from industrial mining that develop amazing colors and patterns when they react chemically, for example, or are melted in the artist's kiln at extreme temperatures (her studio is half chemistry lab, half office, half apartment)."
