There are two devices which can help the sculptor to judge his work: one is not to see it for a while. The other... is to look at his work through spectacles which will change its color and magnify or diminish it, so as to disguise it somehow to his eye, and make it look as though it were the work of another.
Gian Lorenzo Bernini, 1590 -1680
As I work though my photo folders, putting together a collection of work for the exhibition, I began to see I have this thing about colour but it's not limited to one colour ... it seems that each place has had its own colour for me.
Genova is, for me, predominately gold/yellow/orange. Naples was red. And Rome was that grey/off white found in the exquisite marble sculptures.
As I recall, New Zealand was blue and green, and so vivid in a different way. Now to 'revisit' France, Cairo and all those other places, see what colour they were ...
Meanwhile I'll leave you with one of my favourite angels in Rome, by Bernini.
