Colour

​Colour has always been something I felt connected to emotionally throughout my life.
This started when I was a kid, when I consistently saw colourful shapes. It was a shock when I found out that no one else around me could see the shapes. In more recent years colours have integrated themselves into my emotional states so much that how I feel on certain days will affect how I dress/present around others.
Dark and muted colours acting as my “barrier” to the outside world when I am not “myself”. Whilst brighter colours uncoordinated signify inner distress and me supressing/masking myself, but bright and coordinated colour schemes show I am happy/content with how I am that day.
This has become so prevalent in my everyday life that my support-sisters (team) can tell how I am starting the day by what I have chosen to wear/present.
I want to create psychedelic paintings invoking on these complex connections to colour I subconsciously and consciously have, like a “Alice in Wonderland” aesthetic.
I feel materials evoke different colour pallets and which I can use to my advantage to create more multi-layered pieces in future work.  I also need to work more closely with limited/monochromatic colour pallets that focus more on tone and contrast rather than my own usual colour selection.
