Colour in Development
am i neglecting colour? out with my practice i love/use lots of colour but why not within my practice? How would the colours that i like change the work? am i limiting myself by using red. am i stuck in my ways due to a long affiliation with red/monochromatic colours? is this my safe space?

importance of colour and interaction – crucial to a Childs development. if this is neglected within the first year of life it could have a negative impact on development.
Practice usually focuses on minimal colour, often focusing on one (red and black). Why? outside of my work I love colour? why am I neglecting colour within my work? I don’t even really like red.

PMC4 Patricia Volk- Exhibition book. I like the use of pastel colours and the colour blocked arrangement with the tables. The spot lights give the smooth surface a shiny and appealing surface.

I like the colour combinations and the way each individual part plays with another through colour. soft appealing shapes. sweets or icing? childhood. I prefer them shiny!

changing the gallery space. This is fun. Why can’t art be fun? White walls are quite boring now I’m thinking about it… I like the painting around the painting; challenging which painting should we be viewing?
