Statement
Colours can invoke different moods, memories or feelings. Changing the value, hue or saturation of those colours will also change those moods, memories or feelings. Sometimes I don’t even realize how colours are affecting my life. I love colour but until I actually thought about it, I didn’t realize how much colours fill my life and why. Subconsciously there are thoughts and memories that pop into my mind when I look at certain colours. Combining colours makes those feelings stronger. When I see purple or blue, I think of my great grandmother and her smiling eyes. She was always laughing. It gives me a very warm feeling. Red makes me feel in control, even though life can sometimes be hard. It makes me smile, gives me energy and keeps me happy. Change the hue and it makes me think of birth – starting anew. Brown colours make me think of nature, nourishment, starting over. Determination for me comes in the colour combination of blue and gold. When I look at my pieces, I realize that the main colours of my life are red, yellow and green. Red has always been a favorite but I was surprised to find that green seemed to be so important. It actually gives me a peaceful feeling. It is a colour to tone down the reds and yellows that seem always to be present-- sometimes even screaming at me. Think about colours and how they affect you. You may even find yourself surprised by a colour that you didn’t realize was so thought provoking in your own life. |
