In different lights a blue may look bright blue, grey blue, dark blue or even blue-green. Which is real? Which can we touch? Colour is intangible, ungraspable, we feel that the colours around us are static but the reality is they are constantly changing and our actual experience of a particular colour is changed by its transparency and its surrounding colours. It will be different every time we encounter it. In my paintings I am working with this intangibleness in colour to explore the nature of the subtle energies that flow between and around us. This flow might be: ~ the movement of energy between our inner world and the outer world around us; ~ the subtle energy transferences of breath, heat, and non verbal energy in a fleeting moment with another species; ~ the meeting points between two seas with different salinity, they don’t merge easily so a place of energy exchange forms between them. These ‘between’ energies that flow and merge are intangible and mostly invisible. Colour is intangible but mostly visible. Within the third arena of painting I am able to explore and play with the push, pull and flow of these two intangibilities together. |
