Matter, No Matter explores the physical and mineral origins of colour. Each painting is structured by a different mineral pigment which bestows it’s colour, while forms are derived from its cultural associations. Each mineral is connected with beliefs of bringing something into being or contributing to processes of personal or cultural transformation.
