On the streets and sidewalks near her studio, Calame finds stains of all kinds to trace: motor oil, spilled drinks, bubble gum, whatever leaves a mark on the pavement. She traces the shapes onto transparent paper and notes the date and location of each stain. Back in her studio, Calame arranges the tracings into what she calls "constellations" of stains. She transfers the shapes to aluminum panels, then carefully paints in the shapes, duplicating the exact dimensions and contours of the original stain. Each stain is painted a single, unique, and brilliant color—far different from any color you are likely to find on a sidewalk.
