The Color Wheel

61" x 53" | 2004

Outside the saturated center, I comment on the nature of each color.  The purpose of red is to make pinks.  The purpose of yellow is to make flowers.  The purpose of blue is to soothe.  The purpose of orange is to shock.  Green makes earthtones, and varies more than any other basic color.  Purple is playful and strange.

 

Equilateral triangles arise naturally from the color wheel.  Because they also make tumbling blocks, which have such depth, I used tumbling blocks as a subtle overlay pattern.
