ABOUT FROM PIGMENT TO COLOUR

Colour is an experiential body. It is both fact and myth as each individual receives and perceives colour in their own unique ways. As Kandinsky argues, "to a more sensitive soul the effect of colours is deeper and intensely moving...They produce a corresponding spiritual vibration.". Colour acts as a bridge between science and spirituality, between what is and what is felt.

In the search for truth, for meaning, I embarked on a journey to truly understand colour and to explore and play with pigments. Pigment being the purest form of colour is the genesis of colour. Colour being an evocative aspect of sight and by extension, perception, becomes a pivotal element of life and understanding the everyday.

From Pigment to Paint is an exploration of the anatomy of paint, in particular watercolours. It is an introductory course for paint makers and colour enthusiasts to partake in a therapeutic exercise of mulling pigment into paint.
