How a thought emerges
Almost Anticipation Becoming Convergence Dissonance Disorientation Forming Impending Intimation Knowing Recognition Recursion Surface Unfolding
Colour Thought is concerned with the moment a thought begins to emerge — before it has become a fully formed idea, emotion or decision. It explores the turbulence, fragments, connections and patterns that appear inside the mind as something begins to take shape. Forms seem to gather, stretch, collide, dissolve and reform, reflecting the way an emerging thought can be fleeting, contradictory and difficult to grasp.
Rather than illustrating a thought literally, Colour Thought gives it a visual presence. Colour, movement, depth and organic structures become a language for the invisible processes taking place within us. Each work attempts to capture not what someone is thinking, but the sensation of thought itself — the moment something is forming in the mind and has not yet found words.
States of Thoughts
Anxiety Fear Grief Guilt Intrusive Obsession Psychosis Trauma
Our latest work in Colour Thought moves further into the idea of thought as something that is constantly forming, stretching and changing. Rather than representing emotions as recognisable images, the new paintings explore the physical sensation of an emerging thought — the pressure, movement, distortion and energy that can exist before the mind has given it a name.
The recent works are more intense and psychologically charged. Organic structures appear to pull against one another, expand, contract and dissolve into complex layers of colour and texture. Trauma, Fear, Anxiety, Obsession, Grief and Guilt are not depicted as subjects, but treated as invisible forces that alter the structure of the image. The result is work that sits somewhere between abstraction and recognition — inviting the viewer to bring their own thoughts and experiences into the painting.
