Colour

Below are some details from a dress i've just finished: a thick silk blend dyed with black beans and onion skins. I love how you get irregularities and textured colour when you use food to dye with.

And since i found this folder full of Gaugin prints at Deptford market, and going to a show of Peter Doig's super colourful paintings on Tuesday, i've realised i definitely need to learn to use colour. So here goes...

I also have a very colourful bedroom - so my work should be too!

Now these are mine... just trying stuff out with some cheap old watercolours, oil pastels and wax crayons. I quite liked some of them.

The one below was kind of inspired by a mix of The Gaslight Anthem, Bruce Springsteen (as always), Into the Wild which i've just read, and also one of my fave books Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee.

I already live with too many ghosts
