For the past few years, I have been exploring the colour blue, not entirely for its own sake, but also in relation to white.
Blue and white have a natural affinity and attract us at a subliminal elemental level, possibly because they are the colours of the space immediately above our heads and of the waters that surround us.
The blue affects and influences the white and vice versa.
Much of my recent work has a marine, oceanic feel, and this is far from accidental.
As a species, at a critical point in our evolution we emerged from the waters and began the long transition to becoming land creatures.
The constantly changing liminal space, between hard and soft, the sea and the land, the deep blue of the waves and the white spume as they break against the land, fascinates us and we are drawn to it inexorably.
Following yet another unimaginable passage of time, the continents will have shifted and the sea/shores we are familiar with will be elsewhere.
Where will our species be then?
