ON COLOURS

This PHOTO book ‘COLOURS OF THE BARN’ is about a struggle with colours and what that evokes. It is not just a show but an encounter and a story for others.

I am lucky to live every day with a view of constant colour changes. Photography lives from visual refinements depending on pixelations. Fixing this and showing the raw existence of squares allows me and visitors to enjoy colours separated but adjacent. It is not a sophistication but a demonstration and improvisation that happens here, as I rearrange the landscape in front of me.

Eventually 5000 1,1/2 x 1,1/2 inch coloured ‘Tyvek’ paper pieces placed next to each other. It is like a puzzle, a constructed landscape influenced by what I see every day.

Separating colours out and setting them in the way my eye and brain intends. That was the game here. In a different way but with similar intent, I dealt with panels hanging like washing does.
